How to clean a glass oil painting palette quickly and easily!

I show how I clean my glass palette of dried oil paint in less than 5 minutes!

For years I have used mineral spirits to clean my glass palette. Looking for another option, I watched your video, drove down to the local Dollar Whatever and they had Awesome. Took it home, and it works like an absolute charm. Thanks so much for the very useful, economical tip!

Thanks for the tip! I was using paint thinner/ solvent, this is much less smelly, messy, and I don't have to wear gloves. I also tried the Awesome on grease on the oven range hood, and it works for that too.

I have a container for my palette .I add hot tap water, and to speed it up i make hot water from my coffee maker and pour it in and wait 2 mins max its all off no blade needed. I do this with acrylic

Great info. I am using oils but my method would work with acrylics as well.

Any tips about how to clean a wood palette? Thanks a lot!

[@GiniDeaton]

Sorry, I don’t, other than to suggest you try a glass palette. I would think a wooden palette would let too much be hard to clean and soak up the oil and pigment too much.

water alone might work but Awesome works really well on dries oil paint.
