Hello,
I know that this is kind of a silly question but...how do you guys ( and gals) throughly clean your brushes? I use Model Master enamels and use hardware store paint thinner (mineral spirits) to clean the brush. I slosh the brush around in a small container filled with the stuff and wipe it off with a rag. I noticed though that there is still some pigment on the inside hair of the brush. Are there any cleaners that do a better job? Is it my method of cleaning that is lacking?

Some people use specially formulated products to clean their paintbrushes, though I've never used them. What I do is exactly what you do, the only difference is that immediately after I wash them in warm water using some delicate liquid soap (not the one for dishes) and rince them throughly. I think that's then years or so that I don't have to buy new paintbrushes, and I still have a bunch them that I never used!
Ciao

Hi Sean

To add to Fabio's advice:

Soaking brushes in cellulose (laquer) thinners can help shift stubborn paint residue (enamel or acrylic). :-)

All the best

Yep Fabio's right
After cleaning your brushes in thinner, just lightly rub the bristles on a bar of soap. I like Dove brand because it conditions the bristles, leaving them not only clean but also soft. This makes them work better.
No Kidding!!
