Conserve paint thinner when cleaning paint brushes

Conserve your paint thinner when cleaning your brushes, Use a tall narrow container instead of a short flat one. This way you will maximize the amount of thinner that you use to reach all the bristles, with less waste.

Additional info Comments By: anon on 2007-05-17 We use baby food jars as we have them. If you leave the liquid, it should settle, you can pour the liquid back into another container for used thinners. I use a resealable salt scrub jar for the used thinners, it has a rubber seal and wire closer for the lid. Â
