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.

Turpentine is distilled from pine tree resins.  Turpenoid is a petroleum distillate, a mineral spirit.

When you're looking at any product for use as a thinner, check the label on the container, too, to help get a better idea of the contents.

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.

So not even all turpenoids are the same. Thanks for that, DM. Yes

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. 
 

So is this stuff okay

I thin the oil paint with turpentine but almost immediately my top coat will get all gummy and look amost burnt

 

 

Are you using natural turpentine or mineral turpentine? This is known to happen with natural turpentines. Thin your oil paints with mineral spirits, mineral turpentine or odorless artists paint thinner. 

 

Further to Phil's comment. Natural Turpentine is so caustic that it is an excellent debonder for Epoxy.

For your purposes, try a product callled Turpenoid. Aarons, Michaels all have it. Odorless.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
