During the second world war the first night raid destroyed the original 1932 factory and the business moved to its present location in Cricklewood, London. Ronnie Rustin, Sidney's son, took over the business and ran it until his death in 2008. He drove the growth of Rustins to be one of the good brands in the industry with a focus on wood finishing products, speciality paints and decorating sundries. Rustins Xylene Thinners 500ml Can be used to thin most oil based paints. Good for use with Rustins Damp Seal and good Heat Paint. Rustins Xylene Thinners can also be used to clean brushes and any other equipment that has been used with oil based paints.

Given the nature of the caustic nature of the effervesence from cement, a non-polar solvent is unlikely to have any effect, but if you know otherwise, do please let us know. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing results *by A***N on 21 November 2025* Cleaned chlorinated rubber pool paint from brushes, without damaging them and quickly Worked a lot better than white spirit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely removes Hammerite of brushes and hands! *by L***H on 30 September 2025* Great user of hammerite but their own cleanser is very dear.
