I need to clean a Stop Loss bag that contains an oil based WOP. The instructions on the bag say that Acetone and some other stuff shouldn't be used to clean the bag. It suggests mineral spirits (paint thinner?). Has anyone cleaned one of these bags? If so, what did you use. Mark Mayo (@markmayo) got me hooked on these bags and it's time I've finally emptied one. Thanks in advance for any help.
