Turpentine is a spirit obtained by the distillation of resin obtained from live trees, mainly pines.
It's commonly called turps, turps is a solvent and can help soften dried oil based paints, more turps would then be used to wipe the paint clean.
Turps would not be used to remove water based paints.
a painter uses turpentine oil to remove paint from his hands and not water. why
Because it's an appropriate thinner for many oil based paints. Turpentine is a natural product rather than an oil based one so many people prefer it for that reason.
Turpentine is a recognised thinner for oil based paint .
Because that's it's best thinner.
It depends what kind of "paint " it is.
turpentine is only used to remove oil paint. water and soap will not do anything.
Oo
It depends what kind of "paint " it is.
If you are using latex, thin with water. If using enamel, thin with paint thinner.Always read instructions on the can. They always say what to thin it with.
Many paint solvents that will melt styrofoam contain toluene.Toluene is a know carcinogen. Toluene become airborne and spreads quickly.Solvents containing toluene should be used outdoors or in well ventilated areas.
Claude Monet almost never used black paint because he felt the colour was too dull to communicate in a painting. It is, however, interesting to note that he used black colour before he established himself as a painter.
Yes, turpentine is a gum spirit and is an extracted oil. It is soluble in oil and thus can thin almost any type of oil based paint, especially when the paint is wet. Paints with an acrylic base polymer do not respond well to this solvent and the best way to remove it is by scrapping it off/using some form of abrasion. However, turpentine is a very strong solvent and can damage the natural fibers of certain types of leather, ex: lambskin, suede. Cowhide and other tough leathers should be able to withstand it. Always test a small sport first, and use either diluted turpentine or as little as possible and wipe off within seconds, reapplying a little each time--you don't want it to soak into the leather, which harms more than helps it. After all the paint is removed, moisturize the leather with leather lotion or neatsfoot oil. Do not use silicone polishes, mineral oil or other oils. Waxes like carnuba wax or beeswax can restore the shiny surface.

I'll bite how about rolling out the brisltes with your fingertip and dragging a knife across the ends. ??
You cannot use Photoshop to paint on the whiteboard. You need to use the built in painter.
A great way to get clean, sharp stripes on your wall is to put blue painter's tape up using a ruler to make sure the tape is straight, and then paint in between the tape lines to create the stripes.
