Model Forum / General / Models / February 2008paintbrushes cleaning with acetone?
I believe I read sometime ago a tip I think in FSM where for better cleaning after "normal" cleaning he or she placed the brushes for a while in acetone, and that it took away the residue. I clean normally with thinner but there is always some residue. ANy ideas?Thanks Jose boisferas <jmpaliza@gmail.com> wrote in news:d0cc3209-9f9c-427f-96ce- 660586b0b35f@u72g2000hsf.googlegroups.com: > I believe I read sometime ago a tip I think in FSM where for better > cleaning after "normal" cleaning he or she placed the brushes for a > while in acetone, and that it took away the residue. > I clean normally with thinner but there is always some residue. ANy > ideas?Thanks > Jose When you clean your brushes with acetone based nail polish remover. your brushes will get squeeky clean and the bristles of your brushes will also benefit from the stuff in the remover that is good for the nails.

ANy > ideas?Thanks > Jose ======================================================== Hi there. Try not to get any of the acetone on any exposed flesh. According to the University OF Guelph (Gelph, Ontario< Canada) after acetone has disolved a substance when the acetone comes in contact with skin the acetone and disolved substance is absorbed into the body and can be deposited in the interior organs. BTW, most nail-polishes are full of very nasty chemicals.

ANy > ideas?Thanks > Jose when I clean brushes I use three different jars of thinner. I used to use only one and cleaning a brush in blackish thinner did not make sense. cleaning it further with cleaner and cleaner thinner has given me much better brushes with no residue. Craig Acetone is a really great solvent - but as stated in another article can be asborbed through skin and can do cumulative Kidney damage.

ANy > ideas?Thanks > Jose I usually buy thinner in gallon cans. Lasts a year or two. I ran out recently, and ended up at WalMart. They have a new way of raising prices- jugs were 120 ounces rather than 128! Anyway, the cheapest they had was a new type low odor. I think the odor is just different, not really low. Anyway, the thing was, this stuff was not clear, it was a milky color. I'd be hesitant to use it to thin enamel. However, I tried it for both brush and airbrush cleaning, and hey, it works VERY well. Cleans better than turpentine. This is the stuff in the plastic jug. |
