Hello everyone, I'm a new "kid". You all sound so helpful in the forum and hope someone somewhere has solved this one already. I normally use acrylics or Water Mixable oils - no probs. But have now taken big, big step and bought some traditional oils. I intend to use low odour solvent but am now wondering how I dispose of it when its dirty. I doubt if pouring it down the drain is the best thing nowadays - just joking honestly! We have a council refuse site near wher we live so presumably I can take a full jar to them. Has anyone experience of this or a better idea?
Best wishes valg :-D
