    Hooked points - inevitable?

    That's where I've been going wrong!!!! :flushed: All these years modelling - and applying paint with me finger!! :flushed: ;):flushed: But seriously - never seem to get "hooked points" on me brushes, always clean them immediately after use in water or thinners depending on paint used. Then...
