Cleaning out Vallejo Paint Bottles

Recommended Posts

I have a load of Vallejo Paint bottles that need cleaned out for re-use (the ones that you can buy as empties). What are some good ways of cleaning the bottles to re-use, without damaging (ie by using solvents) them? I've used Vallejo and LIfecolor paints in them and some have dried up. I don't have any Isopropanol Alcohol but I do have some Lifecolor airbrush cleaner and some foaming airbrush cleaner for cleaning up the airbrush after acrylic use. Would boiling water be of any use?

 

thanks

Mike

I'd try just filling a sink with hottish water and letting them sit in it overnight - that works with Tamiya and Gunze Sangyo acrylics in their glass bottles. Add a spot of dishwashing detergent if you like. Nothing to lose except a night of soaking.

Caveat: I've never used Vallejo or Lifecolor paints, so I may be full of it!
