Donna asked: Can you give me tips for cleaning the tips on Hobbytex paints? I have recently bought some old/new Hobbytex paints on eBay. Rather than buying new tips, I wonder if there is a cleaning agent, maybe something like nail polish remover, turpentine or metho that I could soak the tips in to loosen the old paint and freshen the ball bearings? Any ideas will be really helpful.
