So am I. I have a little parts-washing can I got from Harbor Freight.
It has a spring-loaded screen-pan and a tight fitting lid. Currently
it's got paint thinner in it, but it doesn't seem that effective. I'm
using a toothbrush and a cut-off (to stiffen) paintbrush. Perhaps I'm
expecting too much, but after soaking in the stuff overnight, the brushes
still wont remove everything. I have to use a razor blade to get off
accumulated goo (mostly hardened oil mixed with dirt and/or rust).
Also, I tried pouring the solvent through a coffee filter but the thing
clogged up right away (took hours to finish about 16 floz) and the
filtered thinner still looked black. Should I throw it out? What's
safe?
