use the same brush for different brands

[honeymummy]

What are your thoughts and advice on using the same brush ffor differnt brand acrylics, should you not do this and keep the brush for the same brand used?
would it contaminate the brush?
thanks in advance geeks

Ok i have had a look at your profile and it says you use ezflow so here goes,
you can use the same brush with any brand of powder,
you can not use the same brush with different liquids even if it is the same brand,
Example= i use creative retention plus and can use any of their powders with the same liquid, i can not however use any of the other liquids they produce with the brush as it will contaminate my brush.
Basically powder will not contaminate your brush but liquid will.
Hope that makes sense and helps you.

One brush per monomer .. I have a brush for Retention+ and a brush for Radical. the only way to stop brush contamination (however if your brush is contaminated all is not lost it is possible to clean them)

Also, Mum said in another thread that using the same brush with different monomers can speed up the polymerisation process.
