So simple yet so important. Great video. I typically do small projects and use the spray polyurethane which works nice but it’s so expensive. I need to work on my brushing skills
Thanks, this is great information, I have been frustrated with trying to clean brushes in the past, this method obviously works great. For your top/final coats what type of brush are you using?
Yes I always found it quite a tedious project until I found this method. I like to use a synthetic purdy brush like the one I am cleaning. This is probably my preference for topcoats and varnish work.
I have seen many gadgets in my life, but never before a brush spinner! Excellent!
Great bit of kit, you can also get ones that fit on a drill!

That's what I thought!

Good but what about all the paint sediment that accumulates at the bottom of your solvent containers?? (not an issue with varnish)
That just gets tipped away when you dispose of the dirty cup.
Always ensure your plastic cups don't melt from your paint thinner. Solo cups Etc will completely melt
I've never had one melt but then I do always use proper paint shop mixing cups.
brush spinner : now pretty high on my (long) urgent tools list...
It's a great bit of kit, uses much less solvent and is a lot cleaner way of doing it.
Cheaper to buy a new brush??
No, not if you use a good quality one.
With the cost of thinner, spinner, cups and time…..toss the brush and buy a new one
Not if you are using a decent quality brush, at £20-30 a time I certainly wouldn't want to be throwing it away after every use.
