SamuiRes Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Need some for cleaning paint splashes. Have tried Home Pro, various building suppliers and pharmacies - they have no idea what I am looking for. Has anyone seen this anywhere or know the Thai equivalent please?

nod Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Maybe ask for thinners? They do know thinners. Edited November 15, 2012 by nod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Cleaning paint off what?? If tiles TSP works, which Home Mart Maenam has... You might get further to talking to the guys in the Paint department, not the floor girls.... (it's strong and needs to be used / mixed carefully... ) Methylated spirit is what is used for "oil lamp" fuel etc ..... http://uk.answers.ya...19063012AAl6lRg Here's a translated from Google Translate! I assume correct, never used before!!! Translated to Thai ..... Methyhylated spirits reads จิตวิญญาณ methylated I have found often, the Thai sounds almost same as English, when it comes to chemicals.... Perhaps print off and take the Thai version!

notmyself Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 White spirit is what you what, known indeed as thinners in Thailand. Friend got some a few days back but he's out at the moment. When he gets back I'll take a photo of the bottle and ask where he got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrain Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) White spirit is available here, but it's called Thinner same as everything else here. To find thinner at homepro or alike look at a tin of woodstain from beger or Toa and on the can will be written which Thinner ( it will have a number like Thinner 21 or something)you should use for it, and by that product Woodstain is diluted with White spirit Edited November 15, 2012 by jbrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the 'paint' splashes are from Hammerite because that would change everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketcher Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 There is a paint shop just close to the ring road entrance of Tesco Chaweng called Mr Paint (i think!). Try in there, the manager/owner speaks excellent english and is very helpfull. Sent from my GT-P7500 using Thaivisa Connect App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
