Can isopropyl alcohol be used as a paint thinner for Floquil paint ? I'm getting tired of paying $ 8 plus for a can of paint thinner.

This is one area I don't recommend cutting corners to save a buck or two.Use the cheaper thiner for clean up but,stay with Dio-Sol for thinning the paint.The reason is many to include the cheaper thinner attacking the plastic.Chanda said:Can isopropyl alcohol be used as a paint thinner for Floquil paint ?

Paint thinner is not acetone. Paint thinner is more oily and less volatile than either acetone or laquer thinner. Paint thinner is good for reducing and cleaning up enamel paint and is a lot safer to use than the other two, plus it's a lot cheaper. I used laquer thinner in large quantities to clean screenprinting screens and it did a number on my sinuses over the years, so I don't recommend using it in other than a well ventalated area. Acetone is a good for general-purpose cleanup and for taking paint off of stuff, but again, use venalation when using it.ejen34 said:What is the difference chemically between laquer thinner and paint thinner (acetone) ? Paint thinner runs me 5.24 a quart.
