Need to know what an acid brush is?
Recommended I use one to put on my envirotex. What is it, what does it look like and where can I find them? I looked at Michaels Crafts and Home Depot and no luck. A picture of one would help me so I know what I am looking for.:D Thanks for any help in advance.

Home Cheapo in the plumbing section . . . same brush used to apply flux while soldering. Metal handle. Red Top has'm too near the rod wrapping stuff (if it's still out).
|
Thanks Gloucester2, of course I was looking in the paint dept.:smash: Much appreciated.:D

Ahhhh.....thanks NewJack....you the man!:D I will have that wood at the next meeting and I will pm you a couple days prior to confirm. Thanks man.:happy:
Nice to see you last night.;) |
Larry,
Make sure you wash the brush in isopryl(rubbing) alcohol.You will see some oils wash out . And only use them once. They are throw aways. |
After washing in alcohol, how long to let them dry?:confused:
|
after washing them in alcohol just shake the excess out and wipe it on a clean paper towl, theyll be dry in like a minute.
|
Hate to bring up this topic again, but when I'm putting my envirotex on the plugs, the hairs of the acid brush keep falling off, making one heck of a mess.
Any ideas on how to cure this one? |

|

i found that flex coat epoxy brushes work much better than acid brushes.
|
I buy a cheap polyester brush like 1" an clean it with alcohol when done.Acid brushes are wat i used to make black light paintings years ago.:cool: :happy:

Larry;
Go to MSCDirect (add a dot com) you can get the brushes by the gross for approx. 10 bux. They ship immediately!! Get the 3/8 " size. I find the 1/2" a little big. |
you can krimp the end holding the bristles with a pair of pliers. it will help.
|
ya didnt hear this from me, but
at like mc donalds or burger king, they have free epoxy mixing cups. they call them catsup cups, but we know better :D l |
Guys...this is an old thread...I been all set on acid brush knowledge since May!:smash:
But thanks anyway!;) |
