                  This stuff is garbage - DO NOT USE IT TO THIN
                  I'm not sure how something that is 60% water is used to thin oil based varnishes and stains. Even trying to use this to thin straight oils makes an un-curing mess. I even tested to see how long it would take to dry by just pouring a small puddle on some raw wood and I wish I could give you an answer, but 20 hours and the wood is still wet. Let me just repeat that. 20 hours, and it's still wet. There is a water mark on the wood and the grain has risen. You use mineral spirits SPECIFICALLY to avoid this issue. The same amount of water would have evaporated over night, the same amount of real mineral spirits would have evaporated in 20 minutes. This is still damp 20 hours later in *the summer*. This oil / water emulsion might have some use for rinsing brushes AFTER you use a real solvent, but honestly it's straight up garbage.

                    This did a great job getting permanet water streaks off my kitchen cabinets. I thought i was going to have to pay money to get them refinished. They look like new cabinets now. It does smell bad but is safe on the skin. I will use this on alot of things in my home.

                    Great product. Very useful in a workshop or in the garage for cleanups of paint. Would totally buy it again. Low odor and not very abrasive.
