Why does it have a distinct smell?
While eco-solve is non-toxic and the vapor it emits is not harmful, it does have a smell that may cause headaches for ultra-sensitive folks, so the precaution to use in a ventilated area is sound.
Is it technically a solvent? What is in it?
It's technically not a solvent but soy oil that has had the fatty acids removed and then processed with soy esters. It's 100% soy but looks and behaves exactly like a solvent. Its composition is similar to that of essential oils - it's a very strong, completely non-toxic, concentrated natural liquid. Eco-solve doesn't leave any residues - it's very archival, non-yellowing, does not cause cracking, and adheres great.
How do I store it and dispose of it? Glass vs. plastic
Storing it in glass is definitely recommended more than plastic. It's a very strong substance so it may dissolve or warp a very thin plastic cup or bottle. It's similar to essential oils which are very strong and can dissolve some types of plastic.
As a brush cleaner, you can re-use Eco-solve nearly indefinitely just like regular solvent. After cleaning your brushes, let it sit in a covered glass jar for a few days to a week and then the paint sediment will settle to the bottom. You can carefully pour the "clean" eco-solve that is on top into another container. The paint sludge left in the jar can be wiped out and disposed of in the trash or washed down the drain if the paint is non-toxic and safe for waterways.
