Cleaning Testor's Glue From Paintbrush

If you use a paintbrush to apply Testors glue how do you clean it

when you're done?

That's Testors red tube and Testors Liquid cement with brush in cap.

What cuts Testors glue?

Thanks!

I don't know for certain, but I think either lacquer thinner, MEK or acetone will do the job. But it comes with a caution, using a good brush for that type of application will perhaps soon render it not ideal for using as a paint brush. Seems over time it would be a bit rough on the bristles.

For thinning tube type Testors their liquid cement will work, as will MEK and lacquer thinner..

Thanks!

We'll try the Testors lacquer thinner.

Just using brush once and tossing it is kind of wasteful.

These are the Testors fine and broad brushes they sell.

Thanks!
