Since my dad painted, he had some of that stuff in a can. About the
only thing that turpentine seemed useful for was for putting on a
cat's rear end. They didn't like that very much. :-))

When I were a lad, I used to make chlorine gas and put a cotton ball
with turpentine on it down into the green chlorine gas. It started "burning"
almost instantly. One of the byproducts was hydrochloric acid.
