2oz. Solvent Blend

Our 2oz. Solvent Blend is a mixture of two different solvents we use in almost all of our ink and paint sold on this website.

One of the solvents is Xylene, the other a high quality petroleum distillate, mixed together to not only thin your home-made oil-based paint mixtures, but to slows down the evaporation time of the Xylene.

While Xylene is the classic OG solvent that all the best markers & inks from the old school were made from, it evaporates kind of quickly and can cause your paint to thicken and eventually turn into a glob of useless color.

This solvent can be added to any oil-based or enamel-based paint or solvent-based (or pigmented) ink to stretch the amount, make the consistency more to your liking, and even clean up any spilled paint or ink.

You can also use it to make your own colors if you have dry pigments. It works great as a carrier and dissolves most dry pigments and dyes. If you make ink/paint from scratch with this stuff, you will still need a binder to keep it all together and a UV inhibitor to keep it from fading.

When using this product keep in mind less is more. If you’re thinning paint, always add a small amount then more if needed. If you add too much right away you might ruin the batch.
