Who invented paint thinner?
Joseph Griffith in 1927 is credited with inventing paint thinner.

No, the odor of paint thinner is a chemical change because it involves the molecules of the paint thinner reacting with the air, producing volatile organic compounds that create the smell.
What is the basic formula of making thinner?
Paint thinner? There are two basic paint thinners on the market. The old timey one is turpentine. The process of making it is to extract the resin from pine trees then distill the resin to extract the turpentine from it.
