    Thank you so much! I spent the entire morning hunting for a replacement gasket.

    Great tip. I’ve gone through several turp jars because they always start leaking after a while.

    Thanks for the tip! How and when do you clean out the turps container?

      Whenever the amount of mineral spirits gets low enough that I want to top it off, I will remove the inner strainer basket, put the lid on and give it a vigorous shake to dislodge the paint sludge that has accumulated at the bottom. I then pour that into an old peanut butter jar I use as a settling tank (see my video on re-using your mineral spirits for more on that). I then wipe out the empty brush washer with paper towels and refill with clean mineral spirits. The whole process takes less than 3 minutes. Cheers!
