It's like molasses in viscosity and color and can be diluted with petroleum. Fuel oil, avgas, kerosene etc. I use 100LL. Thin it or not to suit your application.Paralkatone is a black thick almost tar like liquid ,no?
Yup.So, it is a fairly long term coating? Only removed intentionally and lasts until you remove the hardware it is applied to, it sounds like.
So there really is a modern day use for turpentine? Who'd a thunk it. Thanks!When I worked at Rhinebeck we mixed it with some turpintine to make it a little thinner. Then heated it up so we could paint it on. More like Cosmoline when it cools.
