As mentioned I use MEK thinner, but I just mix it close to 50/50 with Clear High Gloss Lacquer. Both this qt of each probably over 10 years ago and still have plenty left. Probably never have to buy more again ever! Soaks in fast and dries fast without leaving a hard spot. That is what I like. Now even this if you put it on the paint will leave a mark! I place mine between the head and the chenille and probably a little gets on the head, but not enough to do anything.
