Just what exactly is "cheap lacquer thinner" that I often see referred to?

Local Home Depots, neighborhood hardware stores, and non automotive paint stores all have the same medium drying product.

There seem to be no options as to expensive or cheap without buying in 5 gallon size at discount automotive paint store.

Thanks,

Chuck

Perhaps "generic" would be a better term. The stuff you're seeing is what folks are talking about. As opposed to specialized thinners for certain paints, which are generally much "hotter" and more expensive. I usually buy a gallon, but a quart would last a long time for hobby use.

Whatever you buy, try not to buy the "clean air" stuff. From my experience, it doesn't work for beans.

If you have no choice at your local hardware store or box store, it might be worth the money to get the auto lacquer thinner.
