You can also use olive or coconut oil for this mixture instead. If the paint is dried on, using a toothbrush to apply the mixture and scrub might be more effective.
If you have a lot of paint in your hair, then you may need to apply more cooking oil and place part of your hair in plastic wrap before rinsing.
Be very careful when using a blunt edge to remove paint from a fabric or you may damage the threads. If you see any loosening threads, stop right away.
After the stain begins to lift, wash the fabric as the tag suggests. Or, you can soak it in water for 12 hours.
Be very careful handling a razor blade or you might cut yourself. Never place your fingers or hand in front of the blade. Check after each stroke to ensure that you are not scratching the surface with the blade.
Make sure to place the mixture into a microwave-safe container.
When you are done cleaning your brushes, you can put a lid on the jar and use it again after another project. Sealed paint thinner will last for months. Make sure to purchase and use a thinner designed for enamel or oil-based paints.
Be very careful when handling or using a heat gun, as you can burn yourself severely. Heat and peel the paint away in small sections, so that you don’t need to heat the same section up multiple times. Make sure that the surface that you are heating up won’t be damaged by the high temperature. For example, most plastic surfaces will melt when exposed to a heat gun.
