Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to check and see how others clean their brushes and
see if there was a better way. When I'm done putting on my stain, paint,
varnish, etc on I fill a jar with mineral spirits (or whatever the solvent
is) and slosh the brush in it. Then I wash in soap and water and then I put
clean mineral spirits on the brush and dry with a paper town and put it into
it's cardboard holder to keep the bristles from going crazy.
Sam
Take a look at this recent thread.....

There was a recent thread discussion titled "better way to clean a brush"
which had a lot of good ideas about this topic.

Presoaking in solvent helps material stop drying near the ferrule and
aids in cleaning also.

HOW TO DO A REGULAR GOOGLE SEARCH THE SHORT WAY
-----------------------------------------------
You could also use this base for a Google search:
"http://google.com/search?&q="
and add your search words to the end like this:
"how+to+search+google"
giving you a final search string:
http://google.com/search?&q=how+to+search+google
