How do you go about cleaning your expensive paint brushes after using them (to get maximum life out of them). Thanks J-P Tampa, FL J-P, go to your nearest paint store ask for a combination , roller/ brush spinner, and for around $25 bucks they'll sell ya one of them. Just dunk your brush in thinner , put it into the spinner and spin your brush. I spin inside a 5 gallon joint compound bucket, to contain the flying mess. Then , if I'm still gonna do more finish the next day, i'll soak it in fresh thinner. Just spin again before applying finish. If I'm all done with the project, I'll follow the cleaning spin with hot water and dish soap then a hot water rinse . Hang the brush up on the nail hole. It may sound kind of anal, but I have a couple of 10 year old brushes that are still in good shape. P.S. If your brush is already wrecked, try a laquer thinner soak and spin. +1 |
