Methylated Spirit

[SamuiRes]

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?

Maybe ask for thinners?

They do know thinners.

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 .....

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!

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.

Petrol works too.

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

That says Thinner, but it doesn't say if it's Thinner or White Spirit

For the purpose of cleaning paint splashes which is what the OP needs, either of these solvents will do..... Unless the 'paint' splashes are from Hammerite because that would change everything.

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.
