They suggest using gloves - which could be good when washing up rollers and blocks? A find using scrim rather than cloth/rag makes it easier to clean too.Kiran Ravilioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012654334278231996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063686170814248699.post-22700177022554440802011-02-18T17:36:20.403+00:002011-02-18T17:36:20.403+00:00Holly!

I'm not the only one who likes the smell!;) I don't think it's totally harmful, but better to be safe anyhow! :))Kiran Ravilioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012654334278231996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063686170814248699.post-19887526540880315112011-02-18T15:53:25.410+00:002011-02-18T15:53:25.410+00:00I use vegetable oil to clean my rollers and equipm...I use vegetable oil to clean my rollers and equipment, and white spirit for my blocks. I tried using oil on the blocks, but it gummed up the fine detail. <br /><br />I do try to keep my exposure to thinners etc to a minimum - I developed an allergy to ink at art school, and it took many years to get that under control.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717380172065558469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6063686170814248699.post-38176860008726740432011-02-18T02:37:15.750+00:002011-02-18T02:37:15.750+00:00Having studied printmaking, I am one of those peop...Having studied printmaking, I am one of those people who loves the smell of mineral spirits and denatured alcohol too! I'm sure those days of improper handling and exposure were not the best for me, even though we had ventilation. I'm glad you are seeking alternatives - especially with children around!holly aka gollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165342819918461245noreply@blogger.com
