Pebeo Rectified Turpentine is a volatile oil used to dissolve the top layers of oil colours. Obtained from the distilled resin of certain varieties of pine, it gives a matt aspect which is less accentuated than that achieved with Pebeo essential oil of petroleum. Turpentine is a good diluent that gives you light colours. While using oil paints if you find the colour to be too thick, you can dilute it in this Rectified Turpentine for the perfect shade. It also allows a longer working time with the paint. Creating a mess while painting will no more be a concern, as this Pebeo Rectified Turpentine prevents the formation of smudges and other mishaps while painting.
