Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A solvent is a substance that dissolves and carries another chemical, so Technician A is correct. However, Technician B is incorrect because most paints come with solvents in them from the manufacturer, and a paint technician only has to add more solvent if they want to thin the paint for application or cleanup purposes.
