Default Thinner or Mineral Spirits?

On 10/28/2009 3:27 PM Leon spake thus:

[snip]

This time around he brought mineral spirits, odorless AAMOF.

I noticed,

1. No odor, although Swingman would testify that is smells like a
refinery 13.6 miles NE of Pasadena, TX had just released .003 atoms
of smelly stuff into the atmosphere about 15 minutes prior. ;~)

2. It works just as well as thinner for cleaning the brushes.

3. I never once had a friggin dripping brush after lunch.

Does mineral spirits evaporate faster than thinner?


Welllll ... thinner *is* mineral spirits. But you obviously got a
different type of spirits, a different fraction. So in your case it
seems to have evaporated faster.
