Synopsis: When doing glue-ups, use artist brushes as a substitute of low-cost flux brushes. They’ve stiffer bristles, are available in quite a lot of sizes, and final for years if cared for correctly.
Whereas many woodworkers use low-cost flux brushes for glue-ups, I take advantage of artist brushes, which have stiffer bristles and are available in quite a lot of sizes. To maintain a brush prepared for the following day, I retailer it in a water-filled vitamin bottle with a gap reduce within the high. Earlier than the following use, I swish the comb within the water and shake out the surplus. When the undertaking is completed, I swish and shake the comb once more and let it dry. My bigger brushes have been in use for years, and the water lasts for months. —JAY WOOD, Fairfax, Calif.
