Brush cleaning
« on: June 14, 2025, 11:44:20 AM »
I have always cleaned my brushes with soap and water after removing paint with solvent. I accidentally used Windex the other day. It really worked well and will be by go-to in the future.

Thanks, Larry--Interesting. I will have to try that. Might try some 409, too? I just wonder which ones would leave residue that might interact (badly) with the paint during the next use? I just finished up with the major brushwork on my Flotsam-Jetsum, and need to find a calm, low-humidity day to squirt on some primer with the spraygun. Painter that I'm not....

Never cleaned a (camel hair) brush beyond using thinner to remove the paint. Is there a reason for the extra cleaning?

I find my brushes remain more flexible and last longer.
