Fed up

[Wezzel]

Instead of damaging the bristles it actually makes them softer.

I don't know if there are any professional decorators out there but I understand that they do not like to use a new brush for top coats until it has been "broken in" i.e. softened up with use.

The spinning machine appears to break brushes in almost immediately but doesn't seem to wear them out any quicker. Also as the brushes last so much longer it's worth buying really good quality ones.

I found the best way to clean them is to put a cardbox inside a bin liner and spin the paint into that. After the work is finished simply chuck the bag and box in the dustbin.

They might be different products and the one Andy kindly posted might be superior?

To be fair he does state that he has sold loads of these, so hopefully you will all get one.

This is correct, the bristles on new brushes cut the paint so leave brush marks.

I've just been on Ebay and bought one of these devices as a result of this thread.

I think we should've had a group buy judging by the interest on here.

I sure did buy one, works fine!

Methinks a group buy should have been in order
