Can I use White Spirit or other solvent in my Trade 20 instead of Brush Mate fluid?
Definitely not. Brush Mate Fluid has been specially formulated for use in the Brush Mate Trade 20 and is a complex blend of solvents. It not only stops the paint solvents ‘flashing’ off the brush, but also prevents the chemical drying process (polymerisation) that normally takes place as paint dries. Not only will other fluids be ineffective but they may cause irreversible damage to your Trade 20.
