How to Dispose of Acrylic Paint Waste Water - Eco Friendly acrylic water treatment for artists

If you paint, you know that you’re left with a jar of yucky, mucky paint waste water from washing out your brushes and tools. So the question is how are we supposed to dispose of this waste water? If you’ve been dumping it down your sink, you’ve been doing it wrong. But no worries! You can always start today and clean up your paints responsibly.

The problem is acrylic paint waste water disposal, and after tons of research and testing I’m going to show you the easy eco friendly method that works for me and I’m hoping it will work for you too. *Make this video a drinking game: take a sip every time I say "colander" instead of "funnel". lol ERMAGERSHH!
