The brushes win not only with that lovely unsplitable point but the paint-carrying capacity.Zardozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120730367453632421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-1078079538033193362015-10-04T20:15:00.472+01:002015-10-04T20:15:00.472+01:00Nice!Nice!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230149195753516430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-264027126137253072015-10-01T23:12:00.471+01:002015-10-01T23:12:00.471+01:00I use Masters Brush Soap.

One with plain water and one with the W&N cleaner. When using enamels for metallics I clean the brushes straight into the W&N cleaner. With it you can switch between acrylics and enamels with ease. I swear by the stuff.<br /><br />It ain't cheap, but it's worth it.AJ (Allan) Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487872439441907245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-48646173060908847742015-10-01T12:24:29.898+01:002015-10-01T12:24:29.898+01:00I wish.

Maybe Operation Torch (the US amphibious landings in North Africa late in 1942) or maybe something outside this theatre entirely.

Tip erosion always gets to mine in the end, even the Series 7s. Primed metal tends to hammer the bristles, and we're not talking about dry-brushing or anything like it. Or, maybe I've just got a heavy handed painting style?Zardozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120730367453632421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-63571545450309007492015-09-30T22:54:07.445+01:002015-09-30T22:54:07.445+01:00The quality seems pretty good, certainly as good a...The quality seems pretty good, certainly as good as any alternative I have used over the years. I don't think they will have the same longevity as my set of Series 7's (some of which have been in service for a decade and are still going strong) but for the price they were a pretty good purchase.BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-85138809509547458452015-09-30T22:19:27.519+01:002015-09-30T22:19:27.519+01:00They sound good, price wise anyway.They sound good, price wise anyway.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
