Toluene is a very fast drying solvent ideal for thinning traffic striping paints and other applications where a quick dry time is needed. Toluol (toluene) is recommended where a high solvency power is required. Toluene is a common solvent, able to dissolve specialty paints, silicone sealants, rubber, printing ink, adhesives, lacquers, leather tanners, and disinfectants. Coatings thinned with Toluol give off flammable vapors during drying. Always follow the coating manufacturer's directions and warnings and be aware of increased fire hazard when coating large areas. Limit flammable vapors by only using a few ounces of Toluol at a time. Wait until all vapors are gone between uses. One gallon metal can with handle.
