HOW TO CLEAN OUT AN OIL BRUSH 

Thanks for the video - well explained and simple!

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.

Really helpful, thank you!

Great video. Thanks for posting!

Thank you Jake. Appreciate it.

Thankyou great video 🙌🦋🙏

Bro! Thank you!

Can I use lacquer thinner to clean an oil paint brush?

Did you do that when your brush was still wet. My brushes are rock hard. No joy with turps

After cleaning, can this brush used with latex paint next time?

Imagine how long you would be there trying to clean an oil based brush under a tap only lol 😆 🙈

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.

Yeah paint thinner is the best for Clean paint brushes for least 30 minutes always is between 2 or 3 times

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?

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.

Can you use lacquer thinner

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....

How often do you clean the brush? 30 min ? 1 hr? 3hr?

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.

Sherman Williams paint is ducking garbage!
