What are the advantages and disadvatages vis-a-vis White Spirit and Turps

White spirit evaporates. Subst. turps leaves an oily residue. Subst.
turps may also mess with paint drying times, or the hardness of the
cured paint.

I don't think there's anything turps will do that white spirit won't.

Real turpentine(s) are of course a different matter.
