                        The ones I'm referring to are these:

                        I use these frequently for applying glue. Afterwards I immerse the bristles in one of those dispensing bottles partly-filled with acetone, which dissolves all of the various glues I use. To return them to like-new condition, I then apply some artist's brush restorer. Voila!

                        What glue are you using?

                        I prefer to use a Touch N Flow for dispensing of liquid solvents, reusable and efficient.

                        I use these for applying CA and liquid cement. I also use a Touch N Flow, and which method I use depends on the task at hand.

                        I am interested in trying the Touch n Flow, and found it for sale at MicroMark.  Where can you find the fill and clean station that is also mentioned in the IPMS review?

                        The Flex-I-File site sells them: http://www.flex-i-file.com/html/adhesives.html.
