    Brilliant item to have on the shelf.

    This product is ideal when using paints that aren't water based. It allows you to use a brush more than once. Excellent item.

  • Most critical review

    DON'T GO THERE!

    Big mistake buying this item! Bought it to use as a 'thinner' rather than a cleaner and item has warning that it should not be used as a thinner!! Product therefore ridiculously overpriced - actually worked out more expensive than the hammerite paint itself. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT DON- in terms of using it to cleanse brushes just take the easy way out and throw away the used paintbrush! Bought five quality Harris paintbrushes recently for £12 and Hammerite thinners was £19 - says it all and more. Shame on Hammerite.

  • OK - it works, but that is about all

    I last bought some of this 12 years ago. Times have changed since then and the present formula no doubt has to comply with EU regulations on solvents that can be made available for sale to the general public. The original solvent contained Toluene which was a very good cleaner for all things metal as well as the paint brushes used to apply Hammerite. It also sent you on a journey over the rooftops if you inhaled too much. The present stuff is OK as a degreaser, not wonderful at cleaning soiled brushes and smells vile. As there is niothing else available to the general public which will clean Hammertite off brushes as effectively I suppose that it did its job.

  • New formula Hammerite thinners

    I bought a 250ml tin of Hammerite thinners and brush cleaner years ago and it was a very effective solvent, I ran out during lockdown and purchased 1 litre online. It doesn’t smell the same and the formula may have changed because it isn’t as effective in cleaning brushes as the tin I bought previously. I am disappointed but there’s are no alternative products that I can find that cleans brushes used for Hammerite paint.

  • gGood product but was better in the past suspect legislation has affected it

    Its the only material that will thin Hammerite, therefore essential. If you wish to spray for example I generally do not clean brushes but use cheap ones and throw them away, but if you wish to swap colours for example Hammerite thinners is the only thing you can clean the brush with, although attempting cleaning can result in the bristles falling out/

  • 4 not 5 Star!

    I would have given this product 5 stars had it softened some of my paint brushes that had hardened off after use, mind you next time I will show a lot more respect to the quality brushes that I purchased, IE clean them directly after I used them!

  • You'll need this!

    It is rather a lot of money for something that thins paint and cleans brushes, but you'll need it if you're using Hammerite paint; as White Spirits and other thinners do not work. 1L does not go very far, but it does what it says on the tin, very well.

  • Great product

  • Not as good as original Finnegans Hammerite

    Due to EU interference as usual Hammerite paint has changed its formula so this thinners is NOT compatible with the Original Finnegans Hammerite paint as I have recently found out

    Works very well, providing you want to thin some Hammerite or clean a brush you have used with Hammerite ...
