Turpentine is not specifically classified as a lacquer thinner; it is a solvent derived from pine resin primarily used for thinning oil-based paints and varnishes. While it can dissolve some types of resins and may be used in certain applications related to oil paints, lacquer thinners are typically composed of a mixture of solvents specifically formulated to thin lacquers and clean up lacquer-based products. Therefore, while turpentine may have similar uses, it is not a direct substitute for lacquer thinner.
