Once upon a time turpentine was made naturally by distilling the resin of pine trees. Nowadays it’s made almost entirely from petroleum products, but we’re changing that.
Austin’s is bringing turpentine back to its roots with only 100% pure gum spirits turpentine in our Heritage Turpentine. No petroleum products. It’s a difference you can smell and see in its crystal clear appearance. You can literally smell the pine trees in the bottle!
Why Use Turpentine?
Turpentine has a wealth of uses in restoration and painting, but excels as a more natural and effective thinner to use for oil-based paints and varnishes that performs better than petroleum based paint thinner, and mineral spirits. It also excels as a cleaner for brushes.
