I bought this for two reasons. I needed a paint thinner and I needed the odorless type because I live in a small place. I have used this, and I think it is perhaps not quite as strong as the smelly type, but for my purposes it is quite nice.I should also say that I am not an artist, just a diy'er who needs the occasional bit of paint thinner for a project or clean up (or both).I really should mention that it is completely odorless. When I used it, I could not smell a thing!See full review
