: I've used alot of Easy-poxy, if you're going to clean the brushes
: (not leave them in the thinner) regular mineral spirits work ok,
: it'll harden eventually though. I use mineral spirits then wash
: the brushed with soap and water to get them completely clean.
: Downside is the brush has to completely dry before it can be
: used again which can take several days in high humidity.

: You can't though use mineral spirits to thin the paint, have to use
: their brand thinner for that.

: Bill H.
