Need to know what an acid brush is?

[BigFish]

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. 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. Much appreciated.

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.

[BigFish]

After washing in alcohol, how long to let them dry?

[Christian]

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?

[ThrowingTimber]

trim them a bit too, nice sharp scissors. flea mkt in raynham you can buy a ton of 'em for like 5 bux

[thefishingfreak]

i found that flex coat epoxy brushes work much better than acid brushes.

[NIB]

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.

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.

[Christian]

you can krimp the end holding the bristles with a pair of pliers. it will help.

[Diamond Tackle]

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
