I was told to put the brush under water. But it only became little gooey! Must I wash the brush in running ( cold or hot ) water after use? Should the brush be bone dry before using it again?How to clean a brush that was used for staining?
Ok First of all Most stain you need mineral Spirts to clean the brush out.
Most of the stains and clear coat materials out on the market will say right on the front of the can WATER BASED.
When it says this you clean it with warm water.
Other then that you need Min-Spi to clean the brush out.
Next part of your question when you clean your brush out it does not need to be 100%dry but you need to get as much of the min-spi out you can do this by whipping it or placeing a dry rag down on a flat surface put the brush on it then fold the rag over and press down.
Always remember when you clean a brush out no matter how good you do this 99% of the time after the brush dries out and when you go to use it again it will seem stiff all you need to do is brush your hand it will make the brush nice and soft again.
PS- Always read the can before use. If you were to use Min-Spi on a water based stain the Brush can never be used again for water based again.
A thing to remember just like with paint
Latex paint you can always paint with latex or oil paint.
But oil based paint you cant use latex on it.
Once a brush or roller has been used for stain or oil thats all it could ever be used for again.
But you could use a latex brush and go to oil but not back.
And also the other answer that was givin if you were to use a brush and use it again 8 hours later you could rap it up but it would be better to put it in a can of Min-Spi this will make sure it dont dry up all all and all you need to do is whip it and dry it with the rag as good as you can.
I have been in the field for 20 years and most people ruin brushes like this all the time.
Read The can and Take your time
GoodluckHow to clean a brush that was used for staining?
If the brush doesn't apear to be coming clean in water, then you can try warm water and some light soap. If this does not work, then you can try mineral spirits. The container the stain comes in should tell you exactly how to clean the brushes.
When I stained my deck last year I used cheapo brushes and just threw them away afterwards. They cost like $1.00, worked great and clean-up was much better. On one occasion tho I did re-use the brush the next day.
You wouldn't be using a $15.00 brush to apply stain anyway more than likely because it is a very think liquid and does not show brush marks. If you are staining large area you'd be using a roller anyway.
Place the brush (bristle end) in a plastic baggie of some kind and put a rubber band around it to keep it kind of sealed. It will be fine the next day.
You just don't want it to get dirty or dry out.

What type of brush is best to use for a great danes short fur?
what type of brush/comb is best to use on a great danes, really short fur, and wont end up cutting or hurting them?What type of brush is best to use for a great danes short fur?
You know what I found works best for all different fur types is a horse brush. It looks like a loop at the top of a handle with little waves on the side of it. You can pick them up at petco. It smooths out the top hairs and brushes out the loose undercoat hairs that are shedding. It won't cut and even though it doesn't look like anything special, they work amazingly well.What type of brush is best to use for a great danes short fur?

How do you brush your tounge without feeling like your gonna throw up?
Everytime i try to brush my tounge i end up only getting the front part, and when i try to brush the back part i feel like im gonna throw up. What method can i use to get the back part of my tounge clean without throwing up?How do you brush your tounge without feeling like your gonna throw up?
Stay calm, don't think about it and KEEP BREATHING!How do you brush your tounge without feeling like your gonna throw up?
Its tough having a bad gag reflex. I would suggest taking deep breaths and concentrating on the breathing through your nose and brushing at the same time. Or sometimes humming while you brush can help too. What that will do is relax you, and take your mind away from what you're doing.Also, I haven't suggested this before with patients gagging while brushing, but what I like to do with patients with strong gag reflex is I put some salt on the back of their tongue before I need to do anything far back in their mouth. maybe its worth a try, good luck!
I have your problem! Then I got a toothbrush with a like scrubby thing on the back of the bristle part. I now can scrub my tounge with no problem! its like a rubber padding thing on the back of the top of the brush.
I get that also, I have a really sensitive gag reflex, so even if my toothbursh goes back on my tongue, i instantly get that feeling, I do what katie does, do it really quickly, and get it over with.
Lol. I used to have that problem. I just stick my tongue out and scrub real quick in the back and use a good mouth wash.

Im new to make up so i was hopeing for a bit of help. Is anyone able to tell me what size and shap make up brushes i should use with the different make up products. Like what type of make up brush for your foundation, what type/size for the blush. What do you uses to put eye shadow on with.What make up brush gets used for what type of make up?
there are a ton of brush sizes and shapes, but mostly, you want simply, just soft burshes that you can angle with for eyes, for blush, you want a brush that is rounded, because it smoothes and blends makeup way easier. for more on eyes, you want not too big, but bigger brushes for the larger areas, smaller ones for the blending of the eyeshadow. its not very difficult, but if it is for you, maybe you should try techniques with the brush styles, but dont wear them unless you really like them. and if you want someone maybe to guide you, try talking to a friend and asking them to help you out a little. hope that helps a little more. :)What make up brush gets used for what type of make up?

How do you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush without applying pressure?
I love my electric toothbrush but I'm having a hard time holding it to my teeth without applying at least some pressure. I have a small mouth so I don't know if that's adding to my problem. I would love some suggestions or advice. My gums are very sore.How do you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush without applying pressure?
Hold the toothbrush in your fingertips, put it into your mouth in the cheek area then close your mouth a bit and brush. Don't tighten your cheek muscles or purse your lips, keep everything relaxed. With the electric toothbrush you use it to guide the bristles around your teeth and gums rather than using it like a manual toothbrush as there is no need to activate it to be effective.
http://en-ca.dentalcare.com/soap/patient鈥?/a>
This link has detailed information on Power Brushing including a video that is very useful. If your gums are very sensitive initially try using some Orajel (babys teething gel) on them prior to brushing. This should numb them up a bit. Also if you have an Oral B power brush there is also an ';Extra Soft'; brushhead available from the drug store.How do you brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush without applying pressure?
And they pinch my lips too.
It does not seem necessary to me to apply pressure. We have to hold electric brush against the teeth and it does the job. Do not shift it quick like ordinary brush. You should also use inter dental brush to clean between the teeth and your gums will become healthy. When food particles stuck between the gaps of our teeth, gums get infected. Inter dental brush help to clean them.

How do you brush your palate when it is extremely sensitive throughout the nose?
I am sorry if you don't understand this, but when I brush my palate, it is too sensitive.You know what I mean? It seems itchy for me when I brush it with a toothbrush...
I feel that there is plague on my palate, and I am trying to get rid of it but I can't use my toothbrush to clean my palate because of sensitivity.How do you brush your palate when it is extremely sensitive throughout the nose?
Swish with Listerine.How do you brush your palate when it is extremely sensitive throughout the nose?
Plaque does not get deposited on palate. It needs some hard surface to deposit and so it deposits on teeth only. It must be something else. If you are smoking then you get smokers palate also. So better go to dentist and confirm the diagnosis.

What kind of brush should I use to apply polyurethane to wood?
I have a foam roller, but I don't know if I should use that or go buy a foam or bristle brush. Also, how should I clean the wood before the first coat and between coats?What kind of brush should I use to apply polyurethane to wood?
I would not use the foam roller. this will leave air bubbles which will burst and leave you with a pitted surface.
I have not used a natural bristle brush for years. They have an annoying habbit of leaving broken bits of bristles in the finish. These days a high end quality synthetic brush will always out perform a natural hog's hair brush. Two of the best brands are wooster and purdy.
if the sections of wood are very large then use an anza paint pad (these are 170mm wide and easier to handle than a brush of the same width). All other brands are crap, hairs fall out or they have a foam backing which absorbs too much paint
http://www.anza.se/Templates/Product1.as鈥?/a>
Once the first coat has dried sufficiently (normally the next day) sand it using a grey silicon carbide paper (these have a sterate coating to reduce clogging). Go for a rougher grit for the first coat (approx 180g), and less rough for the other coats (between 300 and 400g). Dust/vacuum the surfaces and the use a tack cloth (a wax backed cloth) to remove any remaining dust. Failure to do this could result in fisheyes (pits in the finish).
To make life easier for yourself buy some owatrol. This is a paint additive that will help the varnish flow with greater ease. it will enable you to maintain the wet edge whilst you are working. You wil only need a small amount but can use it future in any oilbased paints/varnishes. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.

What kind of brush should I use to apply polyurethane to wood?
