How do you use Pine Solvent?

Pine Solvent is a versatile, professional-grade tool that can be used in several ways depending on your project needs. Because it is a refined distillate, it evaporates cleanly and leaves no residue behind.


  • Thinning Oil Finishes: To help heavy oils like Pure Tung Oil penetrate deeper into the wood grain, mix Pine Solvent directly into the oil. This reduces the viscosity, making the finish easier to apply and ensuring it reaches deep into the wood fibers for maximum protection.
  • Surface Preparation: Before applying a new finish, use a clean cloth dampened with Pine Solvent to wipe down your project. This acts as a natural degreaser, removing dust, oils, and residues to ensure your finish bonds perfectly to the surface.
  • Cleaning Brushes and Tools: After completing an oil-based project, soak your brushes or tools in Pine Solvent to dissolve buildup. It effectively breaks down oils and waxes, allowing you to clean your equipment thoroughly without using harsh petroleum chemicals.
  • General Shop Cleanup: Use it as an all-purpose solvent to clean surfaces or remove accidental drips and spills. It provides professional-grade strength while filling your workspace with a natural, subtle pine aroma.
