Genuine gum turpentine is a clear solvent made from extracts of organic distilled resin from Argentinian pine trees. Genuine turpentine is used as a medium for mixing artists’ pigments and as a thinner. It is also used in linseed/beeswax polishes and for cleaning brushes after use with oil paints.

Turpentine is a classic solvent for thinning alkyds, oils, varnishes, and enamels. It improves the application process and is useful for cleaning brushes, rollers, and spray tools. Additionally, turpentine helps remove dirt and grease from surfaces before painting. It is effective for dissolving paint, varnish, and various mediums. After use, it can be cleaned off with warm, soapy water and rinsed with clean water. Ideal for thinning oil-based paints, varnishes, and mediums.
