    I flew in from Sydney Australia to Michigan and visited the Mack Brush factory ... I'm retired but I've been using pin stripping brushes and "French" quills since the 60's... I actually have brushes from 1973 in my box...never using dish soap(?). I use motor oil, and really hand work it into the brush and then us Vaseline and flatten out the brush and trim any out of place hairs and store it. The quills haven't seen daylight in almost 48 years ... no joke, I cleaned them with lacquer thinners and re-oiled it... worked just like new. ... to be hones I was truly surprised!

      I usually sit and watch Sunday football (Monday here in Sydney) and while doing that, I work motor oil into the brush after I clean with thinners.
      My Australian wife who is also an art teacher is helping me set up to do some antiques reverse image (including gold leaf) signs for weddings and some shops... ideas from the time of depression. The local trades school asked me to film the processes for his classes and explain those minor details.
      The displays at Mack brush were amazing (going back to day 1) and their brushes are all hand made to this day, they just let us wonder around watching them.
      I should mention I spent 9 years Army, including a combat tour in Vietnam (2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne). Australia asked me to come down under as a teacher in 1979, been here ever since. I do wish back in the day they had those newer style scrolling brushes they offer now ... I bought two small sets of those new ones😀 for my wife and myself.@@villapinstriping

    the brushes are coated with hair gel, just soak in hot water and a few drops shampoo. it is water based. DO not dip in laquer thinner , it is VERY HARSH on the hair. use mineral spirits or turpentine after soaking in hot water and shampoo for 10 minutes. lacquer thinner ruins brushes. I make my own brushes and learned this. only use lacquer thinner when absolutely needed Also NEVER PULL on the hairs, PINCH and squeeze. pulling on the hair also ruins brushes. your pulling the hairs loose. these brushes arent usually even glued, the thread just wraps around the ferrule the its epoxy coated.

      Richard - Striping and lettering brushes are made out of squirrel hair but not the squirrels you have access to. The proper hairs come from Russia/North China and are measurably longer than the squirrels you might find. Making a brush is a talent that isn't as simple as aligning and binding the hairs. The natural ends must be perfectly aligned not cut, then the right fullness needs to be achieved to shape the brush body. This is more complicated for striping brushes as the hairs align on an angle. Honestly it takes a minimum of 3 years full time to be qualified to make a brush of sufficient quality. They cost less than 15-20 dollars each so save yourself the effort, order one online and get to striping!

    I am just found you on UA-cam and am watching all your videos is chronological order from the beginning to your most recent. I just watched this video (haven’t watched any further videos). When you store your brush when not being used for a week to a few months, do you leave them in your aluminum storage brush box and the brushes still have oil in them? Are they stored with having oil or are they store dry with nothing on the brush hairs?

    • @villapinstriping

    If you’re not going to paint with the brushes the day you prep them do you just leave the brushes with the oil they soaked? Or do you just wipe off the oil and put them away? Or do you clean them with lacquer thinner and mineral spirit?

    • @villapinstriping

    Hey mr. Villa,my new brushes got delivered yesterday so I had to replay this video of yours,good instructions! I wish I new this before I used my first brushes. What I was wondering was you tell about warm water and soap but doenst soap contain some sort of silicon that can create fisheyes in the paint? (I understand you have to wash it out but I still would be affraid it will get into the ferrule) and is there a difference between synthetic brushes and natural hair brushes like squirrel? Thanks again for this video and I hope you can answer my questions.
    Have a nice day!

    • @villapinstriping
      @villapinstriping  6 років тому +1

      TheRemyleon I honestly don't know if the soap has silicon or not. The only difference I see between synthetic and natural is how they hold/release the paint differently.. they also require a different amount of reducing. I have a difficult time with fully synthetic brushes. But that's just me

      @TheRemyleon 6 років тому

      villa pinstriping thanks for your reply,I will try them out this weekend. Until now I only used squirrel hair brushes so this going to be a new experience!
