I would say this is NOT what you would want to use. Mineral spirits (aka paint thinner) or linseed oil would be the thing for artist oils. What this supplier calls Oil Orange Terpene X 5-fold is d-limonene, which is obtained from citrus peels, such as orange peel. I believe the only thing to use to dilute d-limonene is water. The citrus oils would cut things like adhesives (tape residue and such). Cleaning artist's brushes is about the only thing not listed on the label.

I don't know if it would specifically clean artist oil from brushes because I haven't tried that, but I have cleaned regular house brushes that I used with oil-based paint. You can dilute this with water but if I were cleaning oil paint soaked brushes, I would use it straight.

This should work with paint, but the paint needs to be diluted. I used my to paint wood panelled walls with white latex paint and it worked wonderfully. It takes a few tries to figure out the best dilution. I also found that I needed to keep qtips handy to clean the nozzle every once in a while.

I use it full strength in a spray bottle. Don't know how it would work in a diluted form. It is excellent cleaner especially for greasy jobs.

That I am not sure of, but I would recommend diluting it if you are using it as a topical due to strength of oil. I would suggest researching it before using it. that way.

I used it on oil painting and it worked for me. I would say make sure you mix the solution before use and first try it in a small area and wait for it to get dry and see the result before applying a large surface.

I've never cleaned brushes, but to remove this from copper plates, we use washing soda. Also, LA Awesome removes most acrylic products, along with its intended use to clean dirt, grease and other stuff. It will remove acrylic paint from tables, so try that. Or, washing soda. I use Pledge as a varnish to make printing plates directly or on copper as an acid resist. Like the other reply, if all else fails, ammonia works. I just don't like the smell!

I would not recommend this brush. It does not hold enough paint and it's designed to do small details. Get a brush that can hold bottles or go to an automotive type gun.

you do not use this on anything painted. the oil needs to penetrate into the wood grain, so stained wood can be oiled or raw wood after sanding, but paint, and wood sealers will not let the oil work

They do not recommend diluting it. It is fairly thick, more like Karo syrup. The smell goes away after about two days. What I don't like is the semi-gloss finish it puts on things, but when I try next will try repeated rubbings as it dries. Of course, since since this is 100% tung oil, you can act as your own "blender" and mix it with boiled linseed, and a solvent to get it back to a more common teak oil.

It can be diluted 1:1 for clay lube. Ive used it at 1:1 do dry my cars fate a rinseless wash. But I just use megs d-156 syn spray wax as a drying help. Leaves a thin coat of protection but adds to the shine

Yes, however it must be thinned with mineral spirits regarding oil paints. Have used it several times with oil and latex paints. Works ok but I wish I had gone with the more expensive model from rockler.

No u can use oilbased, but it'll take way to much mineral spirits to clean the machine. I don't use oilbased paints in mine.

Hi Aaron. This would NOT be very appropriate for that. This filter just stops particulates - basically dust, dirt, maybe pollen, any particle that floats in the air. The filter you want to use for painting and cleaning is termed with "organic vapor". Search for the product named "3M 6001 Organic Vapor Cartridge". That's the type of filter to use for most types of chemical vapors. (Always be sure to read the fine print though.) But that will work for typical cleaning and painting. I personally use that one, and it works really well. (Make sure when you're done to store the organic vapor ones in an air-tight ziploc bag to prolong their life.)

Yes, but we recommend following with a 50% diluted Isopropyl Alchohol to ensure the surface is clean before painting.

I don't know, never tried it for that, I use it to remove paint from hands and other stuff after painting

I am not aware of anything that would clean the brush. This is not paint. I would get an inexpensive throw-away brush and be done with it.
