After reading everyone's thoughts on this thread and reviewing all the charts people have so kindly posted links to, I think I will settle on Odorless Mineral Spirits and Liquin as my thinner/painting medium combination.
The only downside I see is that I'll have to dispose of these substances at the local hazardous waste facility and I'll have to keep my window open and my fan running. Can anyone see any other drawbacks to this combination that I'm missing?
What I like best is that both Liquin and Odorless Mineral Spirits seem to have been well tested and I'm not likely to have discoloration over time with my paintings as I might risk from some relatively new medium or thinner that has not been tested by art conservationists.
