Q: Do you have any safety tips regarding the use and disposal of turpentine?
A: Turpentine is primarily used by artists to thin paints,
make varnishes, and clean paint from brushes and equipment. It should
be store in tightly sealed metal containers in a cool, dark area
because exposure to light hastens its aging process. To dispose of
turpentine, call your local sanitation department to find out the best
way to dispose of hazardous materials.
