Wear goggles, masks and latex gloves to prevent paint from splashing on yourself. Spread newspapers in the work area to avoid pollution caused by paint dripping.

3. Prepare thinner.

Fill three plastic bottles prepared in advance with paint thinner, and then brush the excess paint attached to the paint brush onto the original paint can with a comb.

Step 4 clean the paint brush

Soak the paint brush in the first plastic bottle for 5 minutes, then take it out and put it in a dry place to dry. Remember not to squeeze the paint brush too hard and keep changing places until there is less thinner on the paper towel. Then repeat the above actions in the second and third plastic bottles until the diluent becomes clean.
