Gilly’s LoThin is a highly refined, low-odour solvent designed for thinning oils and waxes, as well as cleaning and surface preparation. Formulated with eucalyptus oils, it provides a safer, lower-flammability alternative to traditional solvents, making it ideal for use in workshops and home environments. This versatile product works as both a thinner and cleaner, helping improve the penetration of oil finishes while also removing grease, wax, dirt, and residues from timber and metal surfaces. It’s especially effective when used with Gilly’s oils and waxes, allowing for smoother application and better results. LoThin can also be used to clean brushes, tools, and equipment, making it an essential all-round product for woodworking, finishing, and maintenance projects. Uses: Thinner - tung oil, linseed oil, waxes, polishes & more Surface prep - helps to remove oil, grease, wax, polishes, dirt, soils & more from both timber and metal General degreaser & cleaner General solvent Brush & tool cleaner Parts & equipment cleaner Stainless steel cleaner Safer to UseHighly refined, dearomatised mineral solvent with eucalyptus oils. Offers lower flammability than traditional solvents, enabling a safer working environment. NOTE: LoThin has been developed for use with Gilly's range of products. Only thin oil/solvent based coatings. Check with manufacturer on compatibility before using. The higher flash point (& low flammability), provides slightly slower evaporation than typical solvents. Wax & Oil Thinner Perfect for thinning most oil based coatings and wax finishes, including Gilly's Pure Tung Oil. Cleaner & Degreaser Effective cleaning and degreasing power for preparation of surfaces and cleanup of brushes and tools. Surface Preparation Use LoThin to clean oil, grease, wax and soil from surface. Allow solution to sit for 5-10 minutes for tough spots, before cleaning off. You can use a cleaning pad, steel wool or other means to aid - just ensure it's suitable to the surface and won't cause damage. Repeat process if required. Pure Tung Oil Start with a ratio of 50/50 when thinning Gilly's Pure Tung Oil, linseed oil or other similar product. This can be adjusted as needed. Waxes & Polishes LoThin can be used with Gilly's range of waxes and polishes, to soften them up and make application easier. This can be particularly useful if you have an old tin of polish. We have had customers with tins dating back 20+ years, where the wax has become very hard, but they have been able to make use of it still, by mixing in the right thinner. Ready-To-Use Finishes Most finishes are sold 'ready to use' and generally aren't designed to be thinned down. Normally, you might only need up to 5-10% LoThin if required with these products, depending on the situation. Brushes & Tools Wipe tools and soak brushes in LoThin to clean. For tools and equipment, you can follow the surface prep advice above. Safety Wear protective gear including gloves and mask. Use in ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children.
