Silicone glue brushes

Has anyone used the silicone glue brushes with epoxy?
Does the glue pull off, or does it remove the bristles?

Preferably the Rockler, but I'll take any info.

Epoxy, that's why chip brushes were invented.

I bought them in 100 piece lots.

Less than $0.25 for a 2" brush.

Wait till Spring when WALMART puts out their Spring merchandise.

You will be able to buy that ROCKLER silicone glue brush for about
1/2 the price at WALMART.

The only difference is that WALMART sells it as a bar-b-que sauce
basting brush.

ROCKLER, my last choice supplier.

Compared to a 2" chip brush, doubt it's worth a hoot for laying epoxy.

With even the best price multiple of 6:1, not worth serious
consideration
IMHO.

BTW, a silicone brush doesn't make a very good bar-b-cue brush IMHO.

Can't comment how it works with TiteBond.

Tried the One from Rockler. Some of the bristles came off with the glue.

Apparently no one has tried one for that. If you do try it, let us
know how it works out.

And epoxy will *definitely* pull the bristles out of them.

The silicone brushes work great with the PVA glues. They actually hold
quite a bit of glue, the Woodcraft one, just long enough for it to flow
out onto the work. Easy to clean and if you forget to clean it the
dried glue pulls off with a bit of effort. Mine has helped me glue up
about 9 pieces of furniture in the last year, not bad for $2.

That was in my request about epoxy.
He said he pulls the bristles off.
I asked what glue..

No one answered the epoxy question...
Everyone answers everything but..

Think I'll stick to the polypropylene glue brushes for epoxy, or the
acid brushes.... Was just trying to leverage these brushes which I
really like for yellow and white glue. I just stick them in water when
done..

The acid brushes always rusted after a while, and held the water too much.
