To maintain my brushes from drying out between coats—and make them simpler to wash afterward—I droop them in water or solvent (relying on which paint or end I’m utilizing). To try this, I drill a gap above the ferrule simply massive sufficient to suit a skinny dowel or barbecue skewer. I slide the dowel or skewer by the outlet and relaxation it on the rim of the jar or cup.
