1. Toxic Vapors and Fumes
There is a diversified selection of solvents available for use with oil paints. All of them are caustic and emit vapors and fumes. And as a result can be harmful through direct skin contact and inhalation. The difficulty is trying to find one that is inexpensive, dilutes oil paint well, and cleans brushes thoroughly while at the same time considered harmless. Some solvents like turpentine are very effective at cleaning brushes, but aren’t so great to mix with your paint. And turpentine emits highly toxic fumes.
