How many more sites can you find to post this ridiculous video?:eek:

Brand new brush, comb, spinner, maybe a quarter ounce of paint a quarter of the way up the bristles, etc. etc.

Give us a real life situation, please.
HATERS GONNA HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep it up, I bet its doing you real good in life being such a sour puss.

The video is creative and well put together, jealous people tend to knit pick.

Jealous?:w00t: This video is neither creative or well put together, nor very helpful for that matter. Show a paintbrush that has been working for 4 or 5 hours. That might be helpful.

I can just see a homeowner when you start cleaning your brushes in their sink. And don't most brush co. say not to use dish soap.
Nope, its perfectly fine using dish soap.

I always ask if I can use the sink first, if they say yes there is no problem.

This is latex paint and very easy to clean. The brush is not put into the spinner until all the paint as been washed out.

So all your doing is spinning clean water inside a clean sink.

Its the same process, no matter how long the brush has been used.

Also, I clean my brush through out the day, so it stays in very good condition for its entire life span.

Every time Im not going to use it for longer than 15 minutes, I wash it.

Still not very professional. I would NEVER wash a brush in a clients home, either inside or out.:vs_no_no_no:

don't forget to store them in a locked cabinet till your kids are adults living on their own with their own paint brushes. :vs_mad:
I was thinking more of what kind of destructive things my kids would do with that brush spinner!!

"Hey, Dad! Watch me spin this brush around!"
"No, wait, stop! That still has paint in i....AAGGHHHH!!"

So your at a job 30 minutes from your home/shop how do you store them for the drive? then once your there how do you clean them since evidently your not fond of the video?

You put them in a plastic bag. I don't know of one painter that would clean his brushes in a clients sink, unless they have a slop sink.

I never gave it much thought because I do my own painting.
Here in SE Michigan most houses have a basement and in that basement a utility/deep/slop sink in to which a washing machine often drains. If I hired a painter and he cleaned his brushes in my deep sink I wouldn't give it a second thought. As long as he was tidy about it. I don't know if that is a regional thing or if I'm unusual in my thoughts on the subject.
Maybe I will poll my Facebook peeps.
