Hi Faith
Which glasses do you wear when removing stains? ;))

I have two methods of dealing with acrylic stains. Some of them can be removed with a special non-agressive hand-washing liquid I can get at the D.I.Y. here in Germany.
But if the marks are on black I paint over them with an indelible marker! I've even been known to use a matching marker on a stain on something other than black. For that I go to the art store that carries all the colours. If it works, I take one home.
If I threw everything with paint stains on it away, I would have nothing to wear!

Slightly off the subject a bit Audrey but to prevent ruining my clothes I wear one of my son's old shirts with the sleeves rolled up. Covers all areas as he is 6" 2' and I am 5"

Sorry I can't help with the original question but the cleaner from Germany sounds good I wonder do they sell it on the "Net"

Oh, Mad Capt., you're so funny!

Re: Paint on clothing.... I have two painting "outfits".... super comfy lightweight clothes that I only wear when I paint. This way, I don't have to wear aprons or coverups and don't care if I get paint on them. Saves my good clothes and I'm always comfortable painting.

Hi Dorothy
Would be fun to post pictures of ourselves in our painting gear!
