Also, I don't use Pledge anymore except for canopies. I spray a gloss lacqure clear coat before using oils. Less chance of a reaction.

disastermaster Greg I never knew this or the difference between turpentine and turpenoid. Good thread, great information. And I'm glad you asked, Stubert. Yes, the blue can...... it's what I always use with oil paints. Use this ➔ NOT this ➔

So not even all turpenoids are the same. Thanks for that, DM.
This great information. I'm glad that I read this post.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
Phil_H keavdog Ditto on the turpenoid. Just remember to get the oil based one in the blue can and not the natural one in the green can, otherwise you'll have thee same problem.
