Mixing of paints and cleaning
Cover paint can tightly and store them in a cool, dry cabinet from heat sources and out of the reach of children. Label cans well. Do not dump thinner or solvents down the drain or sewer. Store them in a tightly sealed container and your local waste management Agency have information questions.
Roles and paint brushes used with oil-based paint should be soaked in paint thinner for a few minutes, then flushed out by works of the solvent in the brushes or nap and dipping them up and down in the solvent a few times. Repeat with fresh solvent the solvent no longer absorbs color. A special electrode and roller cleaner is available that works like a child above. It will remove moisture.
Soaking paint brushes. You can save brushes temporarily in liquid thinner as painting with alkyds; use of water with latex paint. Suspend the brushes by placing a dowel in the holes on the brush handle so that the brush bristles to enjoy in the solvent; they are not on their brushes.
Drying and wrapping brushes. Spin brushes with two hands in a cardboard box to dry them. This technique is similar to a bar of wood to create a primitive fire spinning. This will in a box of calcium prevent splashes. Wipe with a clean cloth and brushes wrap in clear butcher paper. Save roles upright, not at the end.
