Hi all
I've been using compact brushes since i started L&P, mostly because i found them smaller and easier to take around with me.
A while back i upgraded to a lovely more expensive brush, still in the compact design.
Unfortunately, it has now gone to brush heaven due to contamination :cry:
I clean my brush with a little clean monomer and then wipe it out a few times on a clean lint free wipe, making sure i return it to a point and pop it away in its compact sleeve. It is stored laying flat and it doesnt go more than a day without being used.
But i noticed the compact lid / handle part had a rusted look to it the other week and spent some time with cotton buds and such cleaning out the lid of some organgy yellow stuff. At this point the brush still seemed ok and when i wiped it on a wipe no yellowing.
A week on the lid is still clean after my rescue mission but the brush is now leaving a yellow streak.
Is it something anyone else has experienced with a compact brush or have i done something i should have?! Any ideas?
I still have another cheap one that i'm using for the time being but not sure if i should buy another compact style brush or not
