I get around that problem by not using such any more. Now use water base poly, latex paint, etc.
I do occassionally use oil base paint, for painting metal, usually with disposable paint brushes. Keep a bit of thinner on hand for thinning, but for brush cleaning, usually use a bit of kerosene - keep it in a sealed jar, reuse it later, can even strain it if need be.
JOAT I am not paranoid. I do not "think" people are after me. I "know" damn well they're after me.
