What I do:

Allow sediment to settle to bottom of container. Insert filter material into  
new container of suitable size. Paper towels, coffee filters (anyone have
additional suggestions?) Pour contents into new container.

Wipe out old container and wash thoroughly with bleach and dish detergent.
Ohther cleaners might be better, that's what I've got right now.

I bought at Hobby Lobby a glass jar that contains a spring that stands and
inch or so above the boottom and makes a flat platform. The coils make an
excellent surface to scrub your brushes on, the coil will only compress just
so much and the sediment settles nicely to the bottom.

Works for me.

Some years ago someone posted an article on how to build a turp
cleaner made from a one gallon metal can.  If anyone has this still in
their files, can you post at the binaries group?

Thanks,
