Final Friday December 30th, 2011

Sorry if you missed it.

We kept this on the hush.

BUNDLE UP with Tenski & Friends ….

Bundle up was a hit and our biggest turn out yet.  I am sensing Wet Paint is going to have to put the shop displays back on wheels, just like we did at our old spot.  Roll it away, toss up the curtains and have a party.

Thanks to Tenski and all of TAF and DIRT Crew of AZ for a great time. It has been a while since a group like this has been together in one place. Wet Paint would like to thank everyone for coming out. Sorry the beer went so quick this round… That didn’t seem to matter though. The good old Circle K helped out with tall cans and brown paper bags.

Wet Paint is a neutral territory. Wet Paint is not associated with any crews or specific writers of any sort. All are welcome. There are to many bare walls in AZ to be beefing with each other. Grow up and get over it.

Every Final Friday, we have the good shit.

Keep up with that is happening on our B-Side Gallery Page.

recycling solvents

Recycling solvents

I know artists can be lazy, but we need to be conscience of what is being disposed of and how to properly do so.

So, take the time to find your local Hazardous Waste Disposal Facility. If you live in the Tempe area, head on over  to the  Household Hazardous Waste facility.

Gamsol/Paint Thinner can be reused until the solvent is no longer clear.

Set up a simple system.

After a painting session, pour dirty solvent into the first can. Let the solvent settle then pour off the clear solvent into the second clean can. Repeat the process and add another settling can if needed. Keep all settling cans completely closed. Once Gamsol will no longer settle, dispose with motor oil at a local recycling center.

Turpentine is toxic waste. Call the local recycling center for disposal instruction. Because Turpentine is a bio-hazard, DO NOT DUMP TURPENTINE INTO THE SOIL.

Sludge from recycling cans of OMS and artists’ grade oil colors that do not have health warning labels on the packaging can be disposed of as normal household waste. Because linseed oil soaked rags can spontaneously combust, keep all rags, including paper towels, in closed metal containers.

To protect the watershed, no artists’ materials, including acrylics, oil/water media and watercolors, should be washed down the drain.

Do not sand lead-based paints because that releases the pigment from the binder. Dispose of solvent containing lead pigments with hazardous materials.

DO NOT DISPOSE OF LEAD-BASED PAINTS or SOLVENT CONTAINING LEAD PIGMENTS IN HOUSEHOLD TRASH.

Regarding other pigments and oil paints, the art materials’ industry is the second most regulated industry in America. If you do not see caution labels, the materials are not toxic. For more information on health warning labels, contact the The Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc. (ACMI)
