What do the oil guys use for the pallet they use ???? And also how do you safely dispose of the materials used while oil painting ??

I use paper pallets and throw it in the bin when done or keep them for a reminder if I might want to mix the colour again

I have a palet designed to be used with oil - it is a block of different pages, glossy an non-absorbant. In the past I also used a (clean) tile - as in bathroom tiles - the surface must be smooth.
When finished I let the oil paint dry fully before discarding in the bin - with the tile I just scraped odd the dried paint to reuse the tile.

I clean my brushes with a turpentine replacenent chemical. This gets stored in a sealed container, and when too dirty is taken to the recycling park to be emptied (so I can be sure it is disposed off in an environmentally friendly way)

I use a ceramic tile which I scrape when it is fully used, then a squirt of oven cleaner and a wipe with a cloth. This is done in the open air to avoid the fumes.
If the paint is too oily I use a piece of card to soak up the excess but this dries out the paint quickly so it is then transferred to the tile.

I use a white ceramic tile.
When there is no place for mor paint I scrap it of with a pallete knife, and clean the rest with Turpentine.
I glued some rubber " feet" at the bottom side to provide slipping on the desk (the one you use for protect the floor for glyding furniture)
As Bill I use a piece of card to let the oil out and transfer the paint to the tile.

I use any old shit I can get a hold of

Thanks all for the info

Used to use palette paper,but i'm now using plastic coated paper plates.So much better and cheaper.

4x6 card in a Ziplock plastic lunch bag. “Oily” paints go on to a a plain card to absorb some of the oil, then transferred to the “plastic palette.” Used palettes go in the trash when the fig is done.

I prefer toilet paper Brian

I used to use that Ron, but I wasn't too keen on the smell; n0w I just throw everything in the nuclear waste recycle bin.

Ceramic palette, same one I use for other paints that use something other than water as a thinner. I also use a piece of cardboard when I want to leach some of the oil out first.

When I'm done, dry/solid refuse goes in the garbage. The palette gets washed in a work sink in the cellar.

Prost!
