TIMCO Low Odour Turps Substitute is designed for professional decorators, tradespeople, and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable solvent for thinning oil-based paints and maintaining equipment. Its primary benefit is the low-odour formula, which significantly improves indoor working conditions compared to traditional harsh-smelling mineral spirits. While highly effective for cleaning and thinning, users must exercise caution as it remains a chemical solvent that requires proper ventilation and safety protocols during use.

No, this product is designed exclusively for oil-based paints and varnishes.
Yes, it is low-odour, but you must still ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after application.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area with the cap tightly secured to prevent evaporation.
While it is a general-purpose solvent, it is primarily intended for paint and decorating tool maintenance.
Absorb the spill with sand, earth, or a commercial absorbent, then clean the area thoroughly with soap and water.
If stored correctly in a sealed container, the solvent remains effective for a significant period; check for cloudiness or changes in consistency before use.
Ensure you are using an oil-based product; this solvent is not compatible with water-based coatings.
Ensure you are using enough solvent to fully dissolve the paint and follow up with a wash of warm soapy water if necessary.
To use this product effectively, ensure you are working in an area with adequate airflow. When thinning paint, always add the solvent in small increments, stirring thoroughly until the target consistency is reached.
Regarding compatibility, this product is specifically formulated for oil-based paints and varnishes; do not attempt to use it with water-based or acrylic coatings, as it will not mix correctly and may damage your materials. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place, ensuring the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent evaporation. Dispose of empty containers and used cleaning rags in accordance with your local environmental regulations.
