A Great little tool

[uglybug]

So I have been cleaning my brushes the old water pot and then a harsh cleaner, it did a great job but I think it shortens the life of my brushes and was a bit time consuming. And if I did just the water pot i always had residue on the brush. Then I saw this at my local art supply store.

It's a silicoil brush cleaner. It's cheap and a couple strokes across the coils and my brush is super clean. If you don't have it pick one up you will love it. It will save so much time.

In case anyone is interested, same basic principle as one of these:

This type, which goes back years, has the handy coil to hold the brushhead suspended in the water/cleaning solution if you want.
