Hey guys

I'm working with fish safe silicone and I'm thinning it down with genuine turpentine.
I have noticed where I have applied it, it has discolored and darkened the areas. I have a golden base, and I can see spots turning a rust colour, other areas are greenish, but all of them are darkened to the point I'm starting to dislike it!

Do you have any ideas why is this and how can I prevent it please?

Weird. I have only ever heard of it yellowing. Hope you figure it out
