FAQs

Is Sansodor a complete replacement for all solvents?

No, while it is a great low-odor alternative, some artists may prefer the properties of stronger solvents for certain techniques or when faster drying times are needed.

How do I dispose of used Sansodor?

Dispose of used Sansodor responsibly, according to local regulations. Do not pour it down the drain.

Can I use Sansodor with acrylic paints?

No, Sansodor is designed for use with oil paints and oil-based mediums. It is not compatible with acrylics.

What is the difference between Sansodor and white spirit?

Sansodor is a low-odor alternative to white spirit, providing a more pleasant working environment. Both are used for similar purposes such as thinning paints and cleaning brushes.

How should I store Sansodor?

Store Sansodor in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat, and out of reach of children.

Can Sansodor be used to thin mediums?

Yes, Sansodor can be used to thin oil-based mediums, enhancing their flow and workability.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to work with.

Add a small amount of Sansodor to the paint and mix thoroughly. Continue adding until the desired consistency is achieved.

Brushes feel stiff after cleaning.

Ensure you are cleaning brushes thoroughly and reshaping the bristles. If necessary, allow brushes to soak in Sansodor for a short period before cleaning them again.
