I ask this question because I've done it the same way for about 18 years and I'm wondering if there are any new ideas or techniques. When teaching newbies, I try to make it pretty simple and say something like, "The most important thing to remember is that it needs to run clear when your done, whether it's thinner or water". I know some guys hang their brushes or store them overnight, any input? Thanks. 1800Upstate

That piranha tool looks good, but what about their site, saying to use hot water cleaning the brush...hot water warps nylon bristles. I could not see this tool making a huge difference over a 5,1 tool either for the roller covers.
Last week i worked with another painter and took my brushes home to clean them. With some more time and chance to soak, got the water clear and had time to let them air dry a bit. Them seemed to be very clear of paint residue. Most times i dont get the chance to clean them as thoroughly on jobs.

I use water and a wire brush. Then I let it dry.

That's the method I've used for the past 35+ years. Guess I'll just stick with that.

carp painter has necroposted from 08. I'm admittedly a tech dummy, but ain't he a bot or whatever you call it? I haven't clicked on the wonderful products that are linked to--I'm sure, however, that they're splendid.
