Douglas Genuine Turpentine - Pure Gum Turpentine for Oil Paints and Varnishes
A naturally derived solvent with high solvent strength:
Douglas Genuine Turpentine is distilled from the gum of pine trees, giving it a high solvent strength that makes it effective for thinning oil-based paints, enamels, varnishes, and natural resins. It improves flow, dissolves wet oil colours readily, and evaporates cleanly, leaving a fresh pine scent.
Trusted by artists and professional decorators:
Genuine turpentine is the traditional thinner of choice for artists working with oil colours, mediums, and varnishes. It aids paint in bonding, coating, and penetrating wooden surfaces, and can remove paint that has hardened slightly on a brush where mineral spirits may not be sufficient.
Additional uses beyond paint thinning:
Douglas Genuine Turpentine also functions as a solvent for most oil-based products and can be mixed with beeswax or carnauba wax to produce polishes with a distinctive fresh pine fragrance. It is suitable for industrial, professional, and consumer use as classified under the Douglas product Safety Data Sheet (CAS No. 8006-64-2).
