Pure Gum Turpentine

In spite of revolutionary developments in the paint and coatings industry, oil based paints, varnishes and oil finishes are still considered best for color quality, durability and easy maintenance. As long as these coatings maintain their superior reputation, pure Turpentine will remain as the best thinner and cleaner available.

There are less expensive alternatives, but to achieve excellent paint consistency and avoid the rapid drying of other thinners, nothing else can outperform Pure Gum Turpentine. It has been tested and used for centuries.

Most paint thinners are petroleum distillates that evaporate quickly. This can cause filming of color in fine art painting and uneven coverage if used as a thinner for
house paint.

Pure Gum Turpentine is a natural product distilled from pine trees. Its odor is familiar and distinctive. Pure Gum Turpentine blends beautifully with oil based paints, varnishes and enamels and ensures smooth, even application.

As a brush cleaner, Pure Gum Turpentine is gentle on expensive natural bristles. It is also an essential ingredient in the mixture used to create an antique oiled finish on fine furniture.
