: What's the best thing to use to clean epoxy out of a brush?

Use disposable brushes and throw them out. Epoxy is toxic enough as it is. There's no need to compound the toxicity by using acetone or some other solvent to try and clean a brush. Think of it as safety equipment, like a tyvek suit or gloves and respirator. I also suspect that after you try and clean your brush once or twice you'd never want to do it again. Around here you can get a chip brush for .89-1.29, and budget natural bristle paint brushes from around 2.00.
