Hello.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to successfully clean the brushes that I am using for varnishing,(Tung Oil based).
Have tried White Spirit and Pure Turpentine to clean after use but without much success.
I've tried soaked them immediately after use and vigorously swished them around several times before more swishing in a jar of clean spirit then
blot them with clean linen before washing in warm water and a little washing up liquid, finally rinsing in clean warm water.
To eliminate airborne dust etc. I have made a paint booth which helped quite a lot but I'm convinced the remaining nibs are coming from the brushes themselves.
The brushes are Royal and Langnickel, L283 1" and Royal SG950 3/4", both types are showing the same symptoms.
Any suggestions will be greatfully accepted and tried.
Mike.
