Can paint thinner be used instead of turpentine to thin artist paint?
Paint thinner evaporates more quickly than mineral spirits, so fumes from turpentine can be more hazardous than those of OMS. Turpentine is also more flammable than mineral spirits. Instead, use either a turpentine substitute or Klean-Strip® OMS as a cheaper alternative to solvents from an art supply store. If you use oil paint mediums that contain damar varnish, you must use turpentine as a solvent.

What is the shelf life of solvents?
Three years unopened and six months after opening.
