I discovered today that a couple of brushes I used a lot were not cleaned properly last time I used them. I only use acrylics, but it may have been a few months since I last used them.
Normally I’d just buy some more but I wondered if anyone had tips for actually reclaiming a brush that has been left too long. It’s not completely useless, but just some of the bristles are stuck together.
So bin ‘em and buy some more, or buy some magic recovery and try that? I tried Tamiya acrylic thinner and plain old water but not really cleaned it fully. I have a few brushes that could do with recovering so if there is something, I might give it a whirl.
