There is a massive shortage of Hammerite paint Brush Cleaner & Thinner product.
No shops seem to have it in stock and haven't for months.
Was told by Hammerite, you can use:
-Polycell Brush Cleaner to clean brushes
-White Spirit to thin paint

Don't think cellulose or white spirit worked properly for me in cleaning brushes.Ohhh didn't know they had changed the formula - it was always cellulose thinners you had to use to clean hammerite off with.0 -
My Hammerite paint was bought years ago.I clean my brushes with white spirit it works with Hammerite since they changed the formula a few years back
Cellulose & White Spirit back then didn't work properly cleaning brushes, that's why you had to buy their own cleaner/thinner.
I'd be surprised if White Spirit works ok cleaning brushes, as it would make their more expensive variant redundant.0
