Mineral spirits will work ok but laquer thinner seems to do a better job (at least to me). Suggestion - to make your brushes last longer, check at a Hobby Lobby, Michael or an art supply store for some "brush soap". It's a soap made for cleaning artist's brushes and its amazing how much paint comes off the brush after you think you've gotten it clean using thinners (still need to clean with thinner first though).The product I use is made by Grummbacher and comes in a 1 pint jar which should last me for years. Can't remember exactly but think it cost me 3 or 4 bucks a few years ago.

It should work fine.

Haven't tried this yet but I want a little advice before I try it.
BTW I hand brush with sable hair brushes will they be safe?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
