Default paint brush care

This is an old topic, but couldn't find the old thread. We discussed cleaning and caring for paint brushes a short time ago, If anyone knows of the postings, please move this posting. Anyhoo, it was mentioned that you shouldn't wash your brushes and stand them on their end, as any paint left in the bristles would harden in the shoulder of the brush. I made a brush holder to keep them up and let them drip. thought it might be of interest to others. I wasn't fussy with the construction, but it serves the purpose.

Good tip Hugh...but are you sure this isn't just another version of the "suet feeder picture" that had one member of this board baffled last year. Talking

lol, nope, but it is just about as crude. With a little imagination, it might be created to look a little better.

Hi Hugh,

That owl in the photo looks like he's saying...."Now how'd he do that!" Smile
