- HOW TO CLEAN OUT AN OIL BRUSH | How to remove solvent based paint/primer from your paint brush. Cleaning your paint tools is essential for longevity, here's how! Paint cleanup made simple!
Material/Solvent compatibility:
oil - mineral spirits/paint thinner
lacquer - lacquer thinner
shellac - denatured alcohol
latex - water
I used to do the same thing, up to 5 rinses. Brush still went hard. Found that you need to use dawn on the brush and wash out the thinner from the bristles. You squirt soap on brush and work it in. Rinse and repeat until the soap produces plenty of suds. Dawn won’t produce suds when thinner is still in brush.
Thank you for that.
Try using kerosene instead of paint thinner, it’ll keep the brush soft
Thanks for the video - well explained and simple!
Great tips!
Thank you Jake. Appreciate it.
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Really helpful, thank you!
Bro! Thank you!
Thankyou great video 🙌🦋🙏
After cleaning, can this brush used with latex paint next time?
Did you do that when your brush was still wet. My brushes are rock hard. No joy with turps
I do it basically the same way , but finish with a couple of washes with detergent and water...Also, I always clean the ferule and handle as well...
At least in the UK, there seem to be two broad types of "professional" painter and decorators: those that never seem to clean anything and every tool or bit of equipment is covered in multiple layers of paint and splatter, and second type who are meticulous in their clean up, and their general approach to the job. Sadly, the latter seem to be a minority....
I wish I have the patience to clean my brushes when I use one. Usually end up in the trash can. I will use this method next time. Thanks.
You can do it!
I've cleaned out my brush with a similar process, however I'm finding after a day or two, the brush is still damp.
How long does it take for the brush to dry (of the mineral spirits) to be used for the next use?
typically mine are dry the next day. try tapping the excess thinner out before you hang dry or wrap it up.
Yeah paint thinner is the best for Clean paint brushes for least 30 minutes always is between 2 or 3 times
Imagine how long you would be there trying to clean an oil based brush under a tap only lol 😆 🙈
Can I use lacquer thinner to clean an oil paint brush?
I used white/mineral spirit on a water - based paint brush. It got hard. How do I clean it?
Do I need to use paint stripper on it, or is there a different way.
Might have to toss that one. There are a few companies that make brush wash. Krud kutter brush wash is available at home Depot, that'll probably work but by the time you buy that and spend an hour cleaning it, might just replace it 🤷♂️
@@jacobbresson9031 Thx. I didn't realise it back then that u don't mix water with mineral spirits.
How often do you clean the brush? 30 min ? 1 hr? 3hr?
Probably less than 10 minutes until it runs clear I would say.
Can you use lacquer thinner
you can, but the harsher solvents can distort the brush filaments/bristles
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
if ud wait 1 day ud poor back clear spirit that has separated
First, the solvent is not the base for any paint, is the medium, and all mediums have solvents, water is a solvent too. So you mean organic toxic solvents.
Pro painters don't clean oil brush out as a rule ,you have one tin of white and one of colour.
no you need to clean you cant store them for ages and just start using them.
That makes no sense at all. Everything gets cleaned every time.
He said Pro. Meaning he paints everyday. Probably keeps them in a brush safe or a bucket of water. Smear thinned down grease in the brush and it isn’t necessary to get it whistle clean.
Sherman Williams paint is ducking garbage!
