Phoenix low-odour oil paint thinner 75 ml

Phoenix Painting Diluent thins oil paint and makes it more fluid for the initial paint layers. This colourless solvent has little odour and can also be used to clean brushes and other painting tools. You receive one 75 ml bottle with a screw cap.

Adjust fluidity for your first layer

Start with a small, separate portion of oil paint and add a little thinner gradually. This lets you assess the brushstroke and the thin layer you want without immediately diluting all your paint. Make a trial on the same painting surface and also assess the dried result. Follow your oil paint’s directions; the suitable amount depends on that paint and the effect you want.

Clean brushes and tools

Remove excess paint from the tools first. Then use a small amount of thinner in a separate, suitable cleaning container. The 75 ml bottle is practical for small painting studies and limited cleaning jobs. Paint, brushes and a cleaning container are needed separately. Use the solvent for the named painting tasks, and make a small trial first on unfamiliar surfaces or existing finishes.

Safe use

Even a low-odour solvent needs good ventilation. This product is flammable and presents health and environmental hazards. Avoid skin and eye contact, and keep it away from heat, sparks and open flames. Follow the safety label, including its directions on suitable protection. Close the bottle after use and keep it out of children’s reach. Do not pour residues or used cleaning liquid down the drain; follow local chemical-waste rules.
