Cleaning Brushes

[cherokeered]

What is the best solution for cleaning your brushes. The little bottle of thinner from Testors doesn't last long. I want to go get a bigger supply from say Home Depot but I don't know what works the best for the brushes....paint thinner?...acetone?...mineral spirits?...???

I have one of the Testors 1.75 oz paint thinner bottles that I've had since I was a teenager. I've cleaned it out and have been refilling it with a mineral spirits paint thinner. It smells kind of like kerosene, but works well enough.

When my current can of mineral spirits is used up, I plan on getting some laquer thinner to replace it. It cuts both laquer and enamel paint and can be used to thin paint for air brushing, when I finally get an air brush.
