It will thin it, but you shouldn't use it. Whatever you paint with it will smell of gasoline.

How do you clean a paint brush with oil based paint on it?

at our paint store there is a small tool with a semi circle on one side and a sharp set of spikes on the other, you get the majority of the paint off with the spikes and after that a paper towl, then put the brush in a large ziplock bag that's airtight and the brush will stay soft. if you want to clean the brush to use with other paints, the orange handsoap powder that you get at a hardware store will suck the oil right off, but make sure to really rinse the soap off before you use the brush again.


How to Store oil stained paint brush between use?

Clean it with the solvent of the material that you used. If it was an oil-based or alkyd product, pour approx.4 oz of mineral spirits in a plastic mixing cup, rinse brush repeatedly and clean brush w/ a "brush comb". Store brush in original wrapper it came packaged in (higher quality brushes). Keep a lid on rinsed solvent for future use or dispose of according to local environmental laws. For water-based or latex paints rinse w/ a warm water and laundry detergent solution and comb brush and store in same fashion as above.

How do you apply alkyd paint to ceramic tile?

First, clean the tile and grout with a harsh cleanser such as T.S.P. Next, apply a bonding primer to the tile with a brush or roller. It can be oil-based or water-based, and you can thin it slightly if needed to get a smooth, even coating. Once the primer is dry, apply your alkyd (oil-based) paint over the primer with brush or roller.
