Zest-it Citrus Free Solvent |
|
Zest-it® Citrus Free Solvent is ideal for those oil painters who wish a little more 'bite' to
their solvent, prefer a non-citrus smell and a slightly stronger action than the
original Zest-it Oil Paint Dilutant and Brush Cleaner.

Just like the original Zest-it Oil Paint Dilutant and Brush Cleaner, it leaves no residue of itself in your work, however, it has a slightly faster drying time because it is without the citrus element. Use it as a solvent, a diluent, a medium and for brush cleaning. The Zest-it Citrus Free Solvent is a much safer solvent for oil painters than Gum Turpentine and makes an excellent replacement because it is non-toxic and non-flammable. The solvent is just as easy to use as the original Zest-it Brush Cleaner and can be used in just the same way. The Aliphatic Hydrocarbon has a slight solvent odour because it contains no Aromatics or CFC's, has low VOC's and is kinder to the environment. It can travel by road, sea and air, therefore an excellent accompaniment if you are going on a painting holiday. It is re-usable, which makes it economical and a little goes a long way. It is an excellent solvent for Gum Damar and Mastic resin for making varnish. You may have read that only turpentine will dissolve these resins, that is not the case anymore, so you can use it to make your own varnish, for your own use, if you wish. Please note: it will not dissolve synthetic Damar Resin With Zest-it Citrus Free Solvent can make a standard "5 lb cut" varnish and dilute it down to your required strength. However we would advise using Zest-it Citrus Free Solvent for dilution as mixing solvents could cause your varnish to go cloudy. Use it as a medium for mixing with Linseed Stand Oil and Cold Pressed Linseed Oil to make your own painting mediums.
