Default How to clean plastic-bristled brush used for applying polyurethane?

Thanks.


First you need to know what kind of poly you are using. Oil or water based.

Oil based, clean with mineral spirits or thinner. Water based, clean
with warm soap and water.

This all works well if you are planing ahead. If the poly is already
dried on the brush, toss it and plan ahead next time.
