Sea stars are integral members of marine ecosystems, although they compete directly with commercial and recreational fishermen. 1  One sea star can devour over 50 young clams in a week. 2  When their population grows, sea stars can consume entire beds of shellfish.
1 Turpentine or mineral spirits are the primary agents to use when it comes to thinning oil-based paints. 2  Evaluate how much paint was placed in the container, and add the turpentine in a ratio of approximately 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner.
Types of Exterior Paint. Solvent-based (oil or alkyd): Oil-based paint dries slower than latex - usually taking 24 hours to cure. It cleans up with turpentine or paint thinner. Oil-based is the best choice if you're going to paint over a surface that's already been painted with an oil-based paint. Latex should not be used over an oil-based paint because it will peel. Water-based (latex): Latex paint dries fast and cleans up easier than oil-based paint, requiring only soap and water.
