What is the difference between White Spirit Rectified and Turpentine?
White Spirit and Turpentine are used for thinning oil paints and cleaning brushes. White Spirit is cheaper than Turpentine but Turpentine has much better wetting properties than White Spirit, and some artists prefer the smell. Both products are toxic. A non toxic alternative thinner is available which is called Zest – It. It is made from natural materials and has a distinctive citrus smell.
