Rosa Studio Odorless Solvent - 250ml

Yes, the Rosa Studio Odorless Solvent is specifically formulated to be low-odor, making it suitable for indoor studio use and environments where strong fumes are a concern. However, good ventilation is always recommended when working with any solvents.

This solvent is designed for use with oil-based paints. It is ideal for thinning oil paints and cleaning brushes that have been used with oil paints.

No, this solvent is not suitable for cleaning acrylic paints. Acrylics are water-based and require different cleaning agents, typically water and soap, while the paint is still wet.

The amount depends on the desired paint consistency. Start with a small amount (e.g., a few drops) and gradually add more until you achieve the workable fluidity you need. Avoid over-thinning, which can affect the paint's binder and durability.

This odorless solvent is a dearomatized mineral spirit, meaning it has had aromatic compounds removed, resulting in significantly lower odor and fumes compared to traditional turpentine. It offers similar thinning and cleaning properties without the strong smell.

When stored properly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the solvent should maintain its quality for an extended period, typically several years. Always check for any changes in appearance or odor before use.

Used solvent should not be poured down the drain. Collect it in a sealed container and dispose of it according to your local hazardous waste regulations. Rags used with the solvent should also be handled with care and disposed of appropriately.

Ensure you are using the solvent with oil paints. Adjust the amount of solvent added to achieve the desired consistency. Do not over-thin, as this can compromise paint binder integrity.

Work the solvent thoroughly into the brush bristles to break down dried paint. Multiple rinses may be necessary. For very stubborn paint, consider a dedicated brush restorer after initial solvent cleaning.

While low-odor, some scent may be present. Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace. The perceived odor can be subjective or due to trace impurities.
