Wet sanding and completely drying the finish with multiple coats. Lately it seems that the turpentine has a lot more odor that doesn’t go away! Two questions, can I substitute ordinary paint thinner for it and expect the same results? Has the formula of turpentine been altered to meet VOC requirements? In correspondence with Rustoleum I was told the blend of Watco Danish Oil has been altered in gallon sizes (doesn’t dry as well) but not in consumer sized quarts. Appreciate your input — John
