discussion Who makes nice paintbrushes?

Thanks for the replies Gents - much useful stuff.

I treated meself to a to a couple of Winsor and Newtons and the difference is a bit of a revelation.

Being an airbrusher (acrylic, Vallejo Model Air) I tickle the bristles under the tap and gently bend them where they join the handle. This is to make sure that paint is not hiding there, because that part is not so often dipped in the paint to refresh it. I still found some traces of paint near the handle so I now put a tiny blob of washing-up liquid on, repeat the tickling and bending.

Does anyone see any problem with washing-up liquid?

Not if you rinse it fully, but to be honest even if there's a residue there isn't a problem ....

Just use water Steve. If I have left the brush more than I should have then I use Vallejo airbrush cleaner.

i can highly recommend vallejo brush cleaner and restorer, i only use the cleaner every few weeks as the alcohol can kill sable, i use the restorer the rest of the time and really like it
