Hi Guys

When i clean my brushes afterwards i put some bicarbonate of soda in a container add some quite warm water and hold the brush in the solution it seems to do some thing in effect it makes the bristles go back together ,after that i put some hair conditioner on them and that keeps them really soft

Cheers Guys
 
hey cool that seems like a neat trick. I wonder if it would reconstruct my whitewash/hairspray remover brush? not that I would want to, it is messed up just about right :laugh: what kind of hair conditioner?
 
Thanks for sharing.

Now I just need to find a way to buy hair conditioner with out the cashier looking funny at me. :unsure:
 
More expensive but Winsor Newton brush restorer is very good and cleans out all the old paint and also restores the bristles. I use this as a final cleaning on my brushes.
P.S. I does not grow hair. :eek:hmy: :eek:hmy: :eek:hmy:
Cheers

After cleaning my brushes I dip them in fabric softener. Then I run the brushes through my fingers, removing the excess. I then place a round tube over the bristles on the smaller brushes; on the larger ones and the blade brushes, I fold a piece of cardboard over them and hold it on with tape or rubber band. This keeps them as fresh and as new as they were when I bought them.
