Hey Scott. Glad to see you here. I miss the noco gang and our paint outs. I just stumbled upon this video. Great job.

Thank You. I was trying to learn what the most environmentally concious way to use and dispose the mineral spirits was.

ive been trying to do this but ive used glass kombucha bottles and it seems to be taking a LONG time for everything to settle at the bottom. some sediment is still floating about. maybe i''ll try an old plastic jar!

Hi Scott, thanks for the tip. Can I use the Mineral Spirit to dilute silicone? Thanks

[Haleymrn]

Thanks! What if the dirty chunks get full in that container? Is there other way to dispose it instead of sending it to a hazardous waste collector? I could not google any collector in our place.

I let my dirty mineral spirits sit for couple weeks, it did separate fine, but when I poured it back into my painting can, all the sediment poured out with it! How come mine didn't stay at the bottom? It just redistributed itself.

I wonder if this could be cleaned using distillation (outside, using an electric heater-- of course).

Can u use white spirit as a medium to mix and apply paints.

That gray paint in the settling tank, is that still usable paint?

[wayward-saint]

Can the old, settled pigment also be reused somehow?

How do you dispose of the sludge after?

My mineral spirits isnt settling clear, ive been waiting a while for it to...what do i do?

I’ve read many warnings against plastic containers for MS storage.

This doesn't work when you mostly use polyurethane and wood stain... once the mineral spirit is dirty, it's dirty.
