    Default Dried up glue brush

    Last week after applying titebond 3 with an art brush. I forgot to clean it afterwards and left it to dry.
    When I found it again, it was rock hard.
    I was going to throw it out, but I thought I will try out with a bit of paint stripper first.
    After soaking it for a couple of days. The brush has become soft, but it was full this rubbery stuff which I could brush off with a comb.
    The brush is not as good as new, but it is very usable again.
    I didn't know that paint stripper will work on dried titebond 3. Guess I do now.

    Always go to know how to clean up brushes that have been exposed to titebond, or any other glue for that matter.

    From time to time Cabetec have silicone glue brushes going fairly cheap, glue dries in them it just cracks out leaving the brush clean,in fact I have two and make no effort to wash out the one I am using just switch to the clean one.

    A cheap silicone basting brush with the bristles trimmed down works quite well if carbatec's price feels a bit steep. I got a few off ebay for $1.30 a piece but a $2 shop might have some. As mentioned before the dry glue is fairly easy to break out.
