Alcohol can be used as a paint thinner in certain situations, particularly isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol, as they can dissolve some types of paint and help clean brushes. However, it may not be effective for all paints, especially oil-based ones, which typically require specific solvents like mineral spirits or turpentine. Always check the paint manufacturer's recommendations for the best thinner to use.

Will white vinegar work as a paint thinner?

White vinegar is not an effective paint thinner. While it can help remove dried paint and clean brushes, it does not dilute paint in the same way traditional paint thinners or solvents do. For thinning paint, it's best to use products specifically designed for that purpose, such as mineral spirits or turpentine.
