LUKAS Rectified Balsam Turpentine is a double-distilled, highly refined, crystal-clear solvent designed to thin and improve the flow of artist’s oil colours. It is ideal for diluting painting mediums and varnishes (excluding alcohol-based varnishes) and is particularly suited for producing varnishes at home. Recommended for use in lower paint layers, it effectively thins oil paint without compromising its integrity. Additionally, it is perfect for cleaning brushes, palette knives, and palettes. LUKAS Rectified Turpentine also dissolves natural resins such as dammar and mastic. Always ensure good ventilation when working with this solvent.

Since classic oil paints cannot be thinned with water, specialised solvents are essential. The LUKAS solvent range is formulated specifically for oil painting, offering optimal performance for dissolving and thinning oil paints.
