Title: Silicon on my brush
Post by: Rob_B on August 29, 2009, 12:03:05 pm

Anyone know the best way to get silicon off my brush head?

It feels all kind of sticky and greasy, and makes the brush head look dirty.

i had something similar a few weeks back not sure what exactly was on the brush but sounds similar to you and i soaked the brush in some tfr for a few days and then gave it a good scrub seemed to do the trick was a flocked brush too...hope it helps

I soaked my brush overnight in white spirit, then washed thoroughly with very hot water and fairy liquid.

It never really recovered, I nearly threw it away, but too expensive to replace
