Hey guys - I've been using my old bottle of Mig "Thinner for Washes" with my washes to thin them out but am running low.
Which of these is the same? Looks like the odorless thinner is less "dangerous" as far as removing underlying paint?

Both when I lived in Europe and now here I always used hardware store brands Turps, low odor Turps, withe spirit,etc.. and I have never had any problem, but from what you read around it seems that you on the other side of the pond in general the thinners are hottest then other country
Now here is a bit 'that I use "Pure Gum Turpentine", is more refined and has a good smell of Eucaliptus that does not "huts"
