#I've seen advice to use those silicone popit fidget toys as acrylic palettes even

Oils dissolve silicone, right? If I got a silicone bowel to hold the water that cleans my paintbrushes, I wouldn't be able to use my (water miscible, meaning I don't need paint thinner or mineral spirits) oil paints in it, yeah?

#back when i was just using watercolors i used just two small regular bowls for brush cleaning #and when the water had evaporated i just cleaned the paint out with a damp paper towel #but since i started using acrylic paints more the left-over paint just cakes onto the bowls after the water evaporates #i had hoped the bowls were smooth enough i could just peel the dried paint off but i guess the coating has tiny pores or something #and now when i dip my brushes in the bowls tiny bits of the dried paint will flake off and get on the brush and then on the canvas #i know people use silicone containers for acrylic paints because you can just pop/peel the dried paint off #I've seen advice to use those silicone popit fidget toys as acrylic palettes even #anyway i use water miscible oil paints from time to time but if I'm right i can't use a silicone water dish for those
