[cool][#0000ff]Yes, you can use the vinyl jig finish thinner to clean brushes that you used for the epoxy. You can also use it on a cotton swab to clean excess epoxy from around freshly epoxied surfaces. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]When cleaning epoxy brushes, I do several dip and clean trips and then let the cleaned brush sit in the vinyl thinner for awhile to finish loosening any remaining epoxy. That seems to work pretty well.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]A more "aggressive" epoxy thinner is acetone. Like all thinners and solvents, it is potentially hazardous...as you well know. Work in a ventilated area and don't be around it too long at any one session. Also, try to avoid direct skin contact since that stuff is easily absorbed through the skin.[/#0000ff]
