good old fairy liqid works well to

Steve,I have been using B100 Bio-Diesel (Fully processed veggy diesel) to clean paint brushes for about 3years now. It will also soften and reclaim old paint hardened brushes very effectively and you don't get any of the precipitated bits that you do if leaving brushes in white spirits. Try it,you'll be mighty impressed with the cleaning power.....OZ.

You just wait until they outlaw the liquidising of fairies. What will you use then?....OZ.

Oz I appreciate it but a couple drops of vegetable oil and dish soap with a tap water rinse is for me, the perfect solution to small brush cleaning. It takes seconds, costs nothing, uses what's in every kitchen, doesn't smell, does a great job, and doesn't leave half a can full of used solvent to deal with.

I'm afraid biodiesel is really no better than any other thinner in that regard. Maybe it does work as a paint remover -- that's a different matter. (Though I like a citrus oil paint remover I've been using lately -- don't remember the brand.) But thanks for the suggestion. :beer:
