Any solven suggestions?
Yeah OK I know I should have cleaned it straight away but stuff happens!I've tried water, detergent and thinners, no effect, scraping removes some, but temds to score the pallette surface.
I'm hesitant to try stronger solvents in case they dissolve the hard plastic pallette as well

I use a dedicated palette for acrylics, another for enamels and yet another for watercolours. :thumbs If it really does bother you, do what Terry suggests - they're cheaper than a glass of wine and you know what happens to that …………..:roll::roll::roll::roll:

Usually comes out clear enough to start again.
PS make sure you have permission from the memsahib to appropriate the plates:It's a no no

The cleaned empty drum holds poly-bags of scenic materials.
(which in turn are various recycled bits and pieces…)

Same here. I always stir my paint with MacDonalds' paint stirrers!We really are a resourceful lot aren't we. Nothing seems to go to waste. I even save those wooden stirring sticks from coffee shops. They make good paint stirrers and nice planking.

I think those stirrers are the only reason we go into coffee shops and probably why the coffee is so expensive ……………:roll::roll::roll:We really are a resourceful lot aren't we.

It's becoming difficult to get more than the odd few because of prying eyes …………… Having said that, they're about 1p per 20,000,000 on ebay ……………..

Next time I'm in UK, I'll give KFC a call. Do I have to buy their chicken wings ?

Ikea do a battery powered little food mixer for £1.00
Just take a pair of pliers to the head and cut most of it off and you have an excellent little stirrer.
