How do you get permanent paint out of a dress quickly?

turpintine. Well, I know how to get Permanent Marker out of clothes: If you have access to ethanol (perhaps in your school's Chemistry lab), make a 95% solution (95 parts ethanol to 5 parts water) & apply directly to the stain. Rinse thoroughly with water and wash as usual. If ethanol is not available, you can try spraying hairspray directly (& heavily) onto the stains before placing uniform in the wash. Hope that helped!


Can I mix a latex flat apint with an acrylic semi gloss paint?

Of the two paints you are going to try mixing, a water based paint (latex), with a spirit based (possibly methalated) . Not a good idea as they will separate. DO NOT MIX! On the containers for these paints you will be told how to wash your brushes ie.. Water for Latex. Turpintine, or Varsol for the Oil based paints and stains. Again, Oil and Water do NOT MIX!!!

What removes oil based paint from paint brushes?

Cleaning Oil Paints out of BrushesI do a lot of painting and teaching painting. I clean brushes with soap and water or clothes washing powder made into a wet paste. Cleaning is easier if the brushes are rubbed into a rag first.Artists oil paint is made of pigment with linseed or sunflower oil. If you got linseed oil on your hands in the kitchen you would just clean it off with soap and water. Soap surrounds the oil and pigment with a slippery coating. This is a low effort and less toxic studio practice.
