Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Gasoline
This petroleum product has no more harmful effect on the paint film than turpentine or petroleum paint thinners do. However, many brands available today contain added substances that are very poisonous. Furthermore, gasoline presents a serious fire hazard, its flash point being below 30° F. For these reasons, it is recommended that it never be kept in the studio. [p. 41]
