Tom,

Thank you for the information. I was aware of the toxicity of the turps, but I use very very little. A 1/4 oz in my palette cup at most at a time. I got the idea somewhere that spirits without smell were potentially worse because without being able to smell them I would not be aware of their build up in the air. I may have mentioned before that I've got C.O.P.D. and fumes are always on my mind. I will look further into the turp properties.

Thank you again.
