Anyone know where I can get this paint brush cleaner or something similar
in
the UK at a reasonable price, not the £20 I can only find it at!

It is superb for cleaning brushes but the one I have had for about 15
years
is on its last legs.

Surely this is never going to clean a brush completely? I can't believe
that just spinning a brush or roller with a power drill will remove *all*
the paint. For one thing it wouldn't inspire confidence in the adhesive
qualities of the paint :-)

Also I can't believe you could spin a roller or brush fast enough with the
drill without something self-destructing, unless the roller or brush is
perfectly balanced.

Unless of course I'm missing something here...

I bought mine years ago after one of those demonstrations that make you
think you can't live without it ;o)

Absolutely great buy. Spin it for a minute or so and most of the excess
paint flies off the brush and I mean flies off. You need to do it inside a
bucket or box. Then dip the brush in some white spirit and spin it again
and the brush literally comes up like new. Not a single drop of paint left..

The drill can get a bit hard to hold when spinning full throttle but nothing
has broke yet.

Steven.

I've got one too and it works great. The only thing that concerns me
is the use of highly flammable liquids with an electric drill so
close. Is it not possible to ignite it all with the sparks made by the
drill motor?
