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.
To a quart of pine tar, add approximately one gallon of paint thinner (we used 'Thin-X' by SCL Sterling Corp. '100% mineral spirits') or more, and thoroughly mix until the tar is good and thin. Into a 5 gallon metal pail, the thinned pine tar was mixed with turpentine - enough added to fill the pail.12.
