Turpentine, Turpeniod, and Turpenoid Natural are not the same things. Turpentine is distilled from pine trees and is very aromatic. Turpeniod is odorless and is made from mineral spirits. Turpenoid Natural is citric based. Turpentine is used to thin paint mediums that have damar varnish. It would be a waste to use turpentine to clean brushes and the fumes can be quite strong. The sludge that remains in the bottom of the jar should be considered toxic waste especially if it contains cadmium.
@exbrown Yeah, but if you are painting a doors with a gloss enamel, you have to clean it off with turpentine, the sediment left behind is toxic.. guess its better on land than in the sea
why don't people use turpenoid natural? Its non toxic, smells good and recyclable! and when your finished painting theres no need for soap, you can just rinse off the excess paint and turps natural with water! I sound like an infomercial lol but seriously though, this shit works wonders
I thought the same but I read that Turpenoid Natural never really dries so it's not favored for thinning paint and painting under paintings with. I still clean my brushes with turp natural on occasion, but regular baby oil can be used too and is way cheaper if you get it from a dollar store.
Yeah, I think that using turpenoid natural as a medium should be avoided, actually I believe that it shouldn't even be considered! However the baby oil seems like a good idea, I've also heard that vegetable oil is also great for cleaning brushes but I'm kind of iffy about using those.
hello i would like to know what size are those jars? im new to oil painting :) thank you

Great video. thanks!
I have been painting with acrylics now. for that same reason of turpentine being toxic.
I know it is not the same, but I've been practising to make it to look like oil.
thanks.

terpenoid and turpentine... what's the difference?
boogiekook 2 years ago
I was just thinking that, I think maybe turpenoid is in turpentine, or the other way around, so one is like a mixture. Im not sure

This comment has received too many negative votes show
it irks me how he claims that he's giving away some huge secret. i figured the same out just by leaving my jar of turp around for a week
a good tip is to stick a sponge at the bottom. it'll absorb the paint and it won't combine with the recycled turp when pouring it out

Yes, I had the same idea with the filter by watching this.

Great idea. What if you used a small coffee filter when you pour it from one jar to another?
