[djmr2]

So..

how do you dispose of lacquer thinner or enamel thinners and stuff... like after u wash a brush or something...

its bad to put it down the drain!

Its very bad to put them down the drain,

But it does make AWSOME weed killer.

[Lownslow]

Meh i usually drink this stuff by i heard its bad for you so i stoppped J/K

nah i dispose of it in my neighbors yard he never knows anythingJ/K

try lighting it on fire

or throw it at a ford

give it to your sister

put it in your cars gastank

throw it in the sea (dont worry if you kill a few fish lifes like that sometimes)

all of th avobe are jokes

SERIOUSLY i just let it evaporate or try the weed killer ideas (also makes an exellent degreaser)

Hmm..I always just flush it down my kitchen sink..

What's so bad about that?

[TheSyndicate]

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.

Oh, ok! Thanks for the heads up.

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.
