As I swore and cursed whilst cleaning my paint brushes after a bout of
glossing I promised myself I would buy cheapish brushes and bun them
after each use. Can someone reccomend a cheap retailer for some ok
but cheap brushes?

Toolstation will do a 50mm brush for 19p. They're basically fine, provided
you don't mind picking out the occassional hair.

Works fine with Firefox (on Windoze).

you'll get a far better finish using cheap paint and quality brushes
than with any paint and cheap brushes, ime.

cheap brushes are a false economy.

It uses popups and javascript, so if you have either of those blocked
you may have difficulty.

Works fine in Mozilla 1.7 here...

I used to do just that until I tried a decent quality brush. The difference
in feel and quality of finish make the cleaning worthwhile.

Cleaning shouldn`t be to much bother anyway - just get as much paint out of
the brush as you can before you start, few changes of white spirit drying on
some rag between dunkings and it`s done. Put all the used spirit in a big
tin to settle out so you can use it again.

And cookies too - I had problems until I discovered that somehow I'd
managed to get the Toolstation site onto Firefox's list of cookies to
block.

I've expressed those sentiments myself here before. Problem appears to
be that if one doesn't appreciate a good paint finish then one won't
appreciate a good brush.

I mean how much trouble is it to use brush cleaner and a little soap
when finished. You have to wash your hands anyway, don't you ?
