In Response To: Tools: Make paint brushes? (John Caldeira)

: Does anyone have a good method for making brushes to apply apoxy?

: Chip brushes are relatively cheap, but I've spent hundreds of
: dollars on them over the years and sometimes run out. I've tried
: bits of minicel foam, but am looking for something better.

: Right now my thinking is to bundle together 'something' to use as
: bristles and dip the bundled end in a bit of glue. What's your
: thinking?

: John

: PS: Yes, I do freeze them to reuse

Btw, freezing them is fine, as long as it's not in a frig that's used for food. That's a great way to get an alergic reaction to the resin.
