No it may become too combustible.

No.
Kerosene will not evaporate away as fast as turpentine, and your paint may sag and run before it has time to dry. Also, it smells awful, and you might have that smell stay behind for days. Do it right, or go home.
(BTW, I assume you have an oil-based paint. If not, and it's latex paint, you use water for thinner, not turpentine!)

you do no longer say what bristle the comb is. whether it relatively is an exceptional bristle like crimson Sable, you need to use no longer something extra suitable than White Spirit or Turpentine ( for oil based paint ) maximum different solvents will harm it. do no longer use nail polish remover as this might kill the 'spring'. i replaced right into a vehicle sign-author and on occasion have even used a drop of petrol. whilst that's risky it relatively is valuable. once I even have wiped sparkling the comb, I consistently gently grease the bristle with 'Vaseline'. this saves it till the subsequent use because it relatively is genuinely washed out with white spirit or turps and is no longer greasy. p.s. you do no longer say the place you reside yet possibly your Kerosene must be branded as Paraffin.

Turpentine doesn't really work well as a paint thinner (although it's great for cleaning brushes afterward). If you're working with oil-based paint, then go for turpentine or linseed oil. If you're working with water-based paint, then all you need is water.

Kerosene is not a thinner for paint. Too much oil residue ini it to not ruin your paint. You should have gotten a latex paint, then you coud have thinned with water.

kerosen will thin paint, but it won't allow the paint to dry. You can use kerosene to clean paint from your hands.
