dried acrilic paint in my spray cup!

[kryptosdaddy]

Dumb, yes- but i put one away and forgot it. it had about a 1/4 of the 1/4 oz cup full with MM acrylic white thinned with alcohol. When i found it the white paint has dried to a blue tint and is rock hard- I'm soaking it with lacquer cleaner now, better suggestions? I'm all ears. thanks CR

I think time for the oven cleaner, score the paint abit so the cleaner can get in there and it sould start falling apart

no damage to the stainless cup? thats my concern. Thanks Andy!

I found an local organic paint stripper from Dulux here that works even better than ovencleaner. After my little accident with ovencleaner I am trying to stay clear of those chemical burns.

lacquer thinner, a dissecting needle, tweezers, Q-tips and cotton balls. Finally got it all out. and for good measure i cleaned the other one to. thanks for the suggestions, I didnt think that white would come out!

Glad all sorted

as I'm sure you've already found, there should be no damage to the SS cup, especially w/ acrylics. Even w/ lacquers, chances are there'd be no risk of damage to it.

no damage to the stainless cup? thats my concern. Thanks Andy!

Usually soak mine in straight ammonia. takes about 4 hours for a squeaky clean cup.

I was concerned about the oven cleaner Adam! but I was able to get it all out the old fashioned way-thanks!

I use windex window cleaner. Works fast!

Windex is really hard on plated surfaces, use with caution and remember to flush!
