I didn't really notice that much difference between odorless and pure. Except the odor of course!



The difference is the rate of evaporation of the product. Pure mineral evaporate quicker and that allows it to release its 'smell' into the air in a shorter period of time - and hence in a greater concentration of 'smell'.

The 'odorless' mineral spirit evaporates slower. And although it may have just as much 'smell' component to it...the fact that it is evaporating slower means that the 'smell' component is being released over a greater period of time. Hence less concentration of the 'smell' component during a given period of time.

Both will work... but plan on extra wait times between each stage of your painting... to allow for the slower curing of the painting done with 'odorless' mineral spirits.
