Yes it is.
Paint thinner and water do not readily mix. Adding soap will make the thinner soluble in water. The resulting mixture will have an increased consistency and reduced vaporization.
See the Related Links for "Wikipedia: Glycol" to the bottom for the answer. Any of a class of organic compounds belonging to the alcohol family; in the molecule of a glycol, two hydroxyl (OH) groups are attached to different carbon atoms. The term is often applied to the simplest member of the class, ethylene glycol. A type of alcohol used in latex paint to help protect the paint when frozen and to aid application.

Paint thinner is usually mineral spirits and does not contain water, therefore, it does not have a pH level.
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)
Oil based paint is not water soluble and so needs paint thinner to clean the brushes etc.

paint thinner is basically paint thinner

Paint thinner is nearly alwys used in oil based paints. If you mix it with mosts acrylic paint the paints it will be ruined - unless of course you have a solvent based acrylic - such as a thermoplastic acrylic.
Yes you can use paint thinner to remove the paint on the wood. 2nd Answer: No, paint thinner will not remove paint from anything. Most paint is now water-based, anyway. Paint thinner does just what the names says: It thins oil based paint if the paint is too thick for some reason.
Because paint thinner is also oil based and water is not.
No, it won't work. Use regular paint thinner.
You must be referring to 'paint thinner' -it's used to make the paint thinner, strange as that may sound.
That is what it is made for
No, you use water to thin latex paint. Thinner is for oil based paint.
Putting paint thinner on it Putting paint thinner on it trust me my dad works with this stuff
