## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does any know what's in it? I was told not to use it if it has mineral oil or other wierd oils like fish oil.**
A: Please define "other weird oil"  as I was not aware mineral oil was weird, and you may have others on your list besides fish oil.

Safest answer: if you are sensitive to chemicals and/or chemical odors or vapors, this is not for you.

Ralph Mayer's Artists' Handbook (https://amzn.to/2YxeY3f) Says Venice Turpentine is "a heavy, thick, resinous liquid with a characteristic odor combining those of pine wood and pine needle. It has a long history and has been used extensively by artists in glaze mediums, vanishes, adhesives and plastics." It is banned for sale in California.

Turpentine by definition and composition is distilled from pine sap, leaving behind most of the sticky resin and oil, but not odor. It is an irritant to some people, often causing headaches and even fainting from inhaling fumes. To others it is a non-offensive, comfortable aroma. 

Mineral spirits by definition are distilled from petroleum production methods.

Fish oil comes from fish.

Venice turpentine is still used today as a balm applied to horse's hooves to harden them.
