Go to an art shop and buy some Winsor and Newton Sansodour thinner. Or Daler Rowney low odour thinners. (Thats what its called, honest!)

There is another which is made from lemon and grapefruit oils which smells rather nice actually but I cant recall where you can get it from.

It would be great if you could drop a few words about it and what you think of it in the review section. Its a tad empty in there and a thing such as this thinner would be well received.
