TURPENTINE and MINERAL SPIRITS: Are They Really THAT Dangerous 

Thanks for addressing this issue: Hazmat Painters that sadly funny 😂! It’s interesting how many of our most famous and prolific artists who worked in oils lived well into their eighties, before OSHA labels and “safe” solvents. Personally, I love the smell of turps and oils and I’d rather ventilate and wear a coat than wear gloves, mask, etc… There is quite a difference between working professionally and huffing and I really hope that safety concerns won’t overshadow creativity and experimentation in the arts, especially painting Know your body, know your medium, adjust accordingly and have fun!

There is so much MISINFORMATION in this audio. YOU TWO are the reason people are afraid of mineral spirits. People who are allergic to plants have mrsa. That lady seemed to confuse HERSELF when she explains things 😂
