Cement on brush. What now?
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 26, 2005 11:51 AM
Does anyone know what to do with a brush that you've used to apply liquid cement? Or should I do anything? I've just used a brush to do this for the first time, not really thinking ahead to what I'd need to do after. D'oh!

What cement did you use ? With Testors cement you just got yourself a new cement brush, its really hard to get that out again. If it was Tenax7R just dip the brush in the jar until it softens up and wipe it on a rag, repeat until all of the plastic residue is gone and then clean with paint thinner. The stuff that goops up your brush after using Tenax is not the glue, its dried, liquified plastic from the last time you used the brush, I have a brush specially for Tenax but in a pinch I could clean it up to paint with again.

You can clean the brush with Acetone. Just be careful, it's nasty stuff.
