Brushes

This may sound daft with being in the trade for so long but is there a way of keeping solution brushes from hardening other than in solution or thinners. I am now retired and don't use as much solution.

The only other way is to completely clean the brushes with the thinners. but this would be difficult.

The only other Idea is to use a small glue pot and keep the brush in it, and keep it at room tempature,

[Hugh-Candoit (ENG)]

Use a mimi TS Boy and after use put it on its side so that the back of the container is on a level surface, the cone covering the brush should now be horizontal.

This ensures that the Adhesive is in an airtight container (keep the edges of the hole clean) and that the brush is out of the adhesive but kept soft by the action of the adhesive solvent fumes.
