Oil Colour Solvents – Talens

R169.00R425.00

If you wish to thin your oil paint to increase the flow and transparency of glazing layers in oil colour painting and for cleaning purposes, Talens Oil Colour Solvents offer incredible control.

Available options:

  • Odourless White Spirit.
  • Rectified Turpentine.
  • Venetian Turpentine.

Odourless White Spirit a very pure, distilled solvent (with the minimum possible content of harmful constituents) for thinning oil paint in the lower layers. It is, however, not suitable for removing dry varnish coats unlike Rectified Turpentine that thins oil paint, varnishes, resins and mediums. Venetian Turpentine is a thinner and glazing medium as it increases the flow and transparency of glazing layers, as well as the drying time and durability of the paint film.
