Pebeo Rectified Turpentine

The rectified turpentine is obtained by the distillation of pine. It gives a matt appearance, which is less accentuated than that achieved with Essence of Petroleum. You can use it to thin the first coats of colour.

This volatile oil, obtained by distilling the resin of certain varieties of pine, evaporates twice as slowly and has a less pronounced matt appearance than petroleum spirit. It is used to dissolve the top layers of colours. To prevent the turpentine from converting to resin, evaporating and leaving a fatty deposit, choose a rectified spirit of turpentine.

The bottle of rectified turpentine will have to be kept capped, away from light, avoiding long periods of storage.
