How Do You Make Paint Brushes Easier To Clean?
• Make sure the brush is dry and clean. • Using duct tape, tape around where the bristles join the handle, making sure the tape covers about half an inch or more of the bristles. • Cut across the duct tape at about 45 degrees, as this will make it easier to find the end of the tape when it’s time to remove it. Soak the taped brush for a few minutes in water or mineral spirits (depending upon the type of paint). This will stop the paint from entering the ferrule area against the handle. When it is time to clean the brush, just remove the duct tape and there will be no paint to clean out from the ferrule area which effectively reduces cleaning time.
