Murphy's Oil Soap, it is a 'viscous' liquid, has been the best brush cleaner for me. It seems to make the paint drop off the brush similarly to the old Silicoil from years ago. Problem with Silicoil is you have to wash the silicon out afterwards. Murphy's allows me to shorten the brush cleaning ritual and seems to leave the brush bristels unmolested. I did however have a particular synthetic bristle brush 'dissolve' when I soaked it for a number of days. Just that one but the others along with, it also synths, were unafected 14:48 ? Strange. I am hating the cleaning sessions less now. I don't paint every day so I like to keep things clean and safe.🧐 Turps always had me buying sables and other brushes regularly. Destructive to paint, brush and human.

Regarding PM1 availability in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Our customers in these countries have ordered very little PM1 past year, however, if they request it from their local stores then I am sure they can add it to their next order with us. Jacksons Art often orders this product and can ship to these countries.
