Used to dilute, dissolve and clean up lacquer products. Typically too caustic for oil paints, lacquer thinner is often used for removing inks on metal, and adhesive residue from a variety of surfaces. Lacquer thinner is very strong and rapidly deteriorates many surfaces and fabrics. Always test in a small inconspicuous area before applying too liberally on a large surface. Hope this helps!
