DID YOU KNOW?

 Clean Brushes With Oil
Oil based paints are hard to get out of paint brushes. Most people wash brushes for ages in turps then warm soapy water and can still see the paint left in the bristles.
As mad as this sounds you should try it. Swish the brush in turps like you normally would.

Then dunk it in motor oil and swish around for a while. Each time you lift the brush up you will see the paint coming out of the bristles and even the ferrule (metal bit which holds the bristles).

The last step is to rinse in turps again. Now you can leave the brush to dry or use it immediately.

The explanation we were given is that motor oils are detergent based.
