How to Scrape Old Paint Off a Palette
- 1). Attempt to scrape off the paint from the palette using the palette knife by holding the knife at a sharp angle to the palette and dragging it down the palette.
- 2). Apply turpentine to a cloth. Wipe the turpentine across the palette using the rag, then allow the turpentine to soak for 30 minutes.
- 3). Scrape off any remaining paint from the palette with a razor blade. Apply linseed oil to the palette if the palette is made of wood to help protect the wood.
