How to Soften Paintbrushes (and keep them good as new!)
If you're a painter, you've likely dealt with dried paint left on the bristles on your brush. Which means you've also probably wondered: how do I soften my paintbrush?
When left unchecked, dried paint can wreak havoc on the integrity of the brush itself, affecting how well the brush paints, your artistic ability and your art, too. In addition, hardened bristles aren't malleable, making them impossible to use, which is especially painful if you've sunk a good amount of money into your brushes.
Removing dried paint might be an art in itself, but what about restoring those dried bristles to their soft fresh-from-the-package state of being?
That's where the true art happens.
Here's everything you need to know about removing dried paint, and how to soften your paintbrushes.
