I try to reuse it as much as I can. Generally mineral spirits work even when extremely cloudy with paint.
On the off topic, CSC works great even after restoring 12 paint jobs gone wrong :)

Hey. You guys should dispose of your thinners, etc. the right way. Dumping them outside and in the sink is really bad. Doing this will eventually screw up a lot of stuff. Some auto parts stores will take this stuff for you for a small fee ($1-2 or so). Or, call your city and ask. There are better ways to do it than that. :(

It's a engine cleaner called "CONKER"... we use it at work for washing oil and grease off our locomotive engines. Like i said the really good thing about it, is that its brillant for cleaning and then washes up in water.
