Cleaning acrylic paint spills
Occasionally, paint drips and spills on work surfaces and floors
under the workbench. Dried acrylic paint spots can be dissolved
and removed using lacquer thinner. I recently laid my favorite
paint brush down after use, and promptly forgot about it. The
next day, I discovered the error. Remembering that lacquer
thinner dissolves acrylic paints, I soaked the brush for a few
minutes and blotted it on a paper towel. The brush was as good
as new.
Warning:
Lacquer thinner isn’t suitable for all surfaces, so be
sure you don’t destroy the surface as your remove the paint.
