	PRODUCT MATRIX - Paint Thinner
		Turpentine and mineral spirits are commonly used in thinning paints and varnishes.
		Use paint thinners only if ventilation is adequate and take plenty of fresh air breaks.
		Allow the remaining paint sludge to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, outside of your home and away from pets and children.

	Automotive Painting — Applying Paint
		Paint is applied in higher volume at low pressure (under 10 psi, as opposed to 45-70 psi for syphon equipment).
		Paint transfer efficiency is greatly increased with HVLP gear; up to 80 percent of the paint ends up on the car, compared to 40 percent from a high-pressure syphon gun.
		To make the paint thin enough to pass through the spray gun and be properly atomized by the compressed air, a reducer or thinner must be added.

	Deck Painting Project

	What Precautions Should I Take When Using Paint Thinner?
		Paint thinner, specifically the mineral-based substitute for turpentine, is a highly volatile and hazardous substance that must be used with care.
		In order for paint thinner to be used safely, it should always be used in a well-ventilated area away from any source of open flame.
		If you are using paint thinner in a part of the house where carpet or furniture could be damaged from contact, be sure to cover all work areas with a thick mill plastic tarp.

		Paints have a drying time, which is the time it takes for the paint to dry (duh).
		But to bind paint to the surface you need the binding agent, which is usually the gooey liquid on newly bought paints.

		Paint is then carried by water seeping through the garbage and may eventually contaminate ground water or surface water.
		Since sewage treatment and septic systems are not designed to treat or remove chemicals found in paint, when paint is poured down the drain, many of the chemicals in paint may contaminate lakes, streams, or ground water.
		Oil-based paint and thinner contain flammable and toxic solvents that are dangerous during use and disposal.

	Online Forty-Niner Special Report: Paint thinner dumped down drain
		Paint thinner disposed of improperly, usually by being washed down sinks, contaminates the water-purification system into which it flows and can seep into the soil through pipe leaks, campus and city officials acknowledge.
		Students are instructed to properly dispose of their paint thinner in buckets, and art department chair Jay Kvapil believes they do just that.
		Paint thinner inhibits bacteria from breaking down the sewage of the waste water, so water contaminated by thinner must be specially treated, Evans said, adding to taxpayers' expense.

		It may be used as a lacquer thinner, in small amounts, or as a clean-up solvent for paint removers used in wood refinishing.
		Paints around the turn of the century were made with white lead pigment, linseed oil, Japan drier and turpentine.

		One of the downsides to craft paints are that you must squeeze the paint into a painter's pallet or something similar, or take the top off and reach down into the bottle with your brush.
		Which is great for mixing paints to a certain ratio, but like craft paints you'll have to drip the paint into a paint pallet.
		The paints also come in glazes and transparencies, which are similar to GW Inks and make for good washes.

	Paint Resource Library: Ingredients of Paint (The Paint Quality Institute)
		For most oil-based and alkyd paints, the liquid component is paint thinner, which is a combustible solvent made primarily of mineral spirits, a petroleum distillate of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
		For clear and pigmented lacquers, the liquid is usually lacquer thinner or another solvent that is "stronger" and more flammable than paint thinner.
		For this reason, it is recommended that paints not be thinned unless necessary (such as for application by spraying), since thinning reduces the solids content of the paint per unit of volume.

		Interior oil based paints continually yellow and harden as they age, leading to perpetual maintenance as the finish begins to chip and crack in corners.
		The oils in alkyd oil-based primers and paints are natural organic materials which serve as mildew food and actually promote mildew growth.
		In general, alkyd oil-based paints have poor color and gloss retention, and often exhibit poor chalk resistance, when compared to top-quality 100% acrylic paints.
