NO! Turpentine is VERY different indeed chemically. 'Paint thinner' these days can be anything from water, through ethylene trichloride and carbon tetrachloride to 'white spirit' and stuff more like gasoline.

Yes, but...

Solvent action (if it is not water) on a label is similar (likely more severe) to the specified hexane. If the label passes with turpentine or paint thinner, it is likely to pass with hexane.

(In the U.S.A., paint thinner WOULD NOT be carbon tet!)
