Is ethylene glycol soluble in paint thinner?

Why is salt dissolved in water and not in paint thinner?
Because water is polar (as is salt) whereas paint-thinner is not polar. Consider the rule "like dissolves like". non-polar covalent solvents (paint thinner) will not dissolve polar solutes (salt)
What is the pH level of paint thinner?
Paint thinner is usually mineral spirits and does not contain water, therefore, it does not have a pH level.
Why do scientist not use water as a solvent for paint?

Because paint thinner is also oil based and water is not.
Can you use paint thinner in acrylic paint?

Does thinner based paint dry faster than water based paint?
