Reading the earlier thread about White Spirit reminds me of something I have
always wondered about...

What are the advantages and disadvatages vis-a-vis White Spirit and Turps
(excepting price) when it comes to cleaning paint brushes and thinning
oil-based paint? What 'exactly' are they / what's the difference?

Thanks in advance,

Keith

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.
