I have both linseed and thinner but I usually just use my thinner because I already have it out. And you are correct its the same stuff that you probably use to clean your brushes. When I say thinner I mean Odorless Mineral Spirits.

Also there is this stuff called Gamsol. I have read conflicting arguments whether or not it works better than regular odorless mineral sprites. Its more refined I think? I don't know hopefully somebody more knowledgeable can chime in.
