Such an economical and ecofriendly way of using/reusing nasty stuff. I want that brush spinner thingy and putting it back in the packaging - frickin' brilliant!
I was just doing my second coat of poly and was wondering how to get my brush back. I was just going to buy a new one, but this just saved me 20 bucks. Thanks mate.
Thank you so much Mr Sauzeddle. I love all your videos. I have restored 4 wooden boats and you have given me a whole new way of doing varnish and cleaning brushes. Thanks again.
wow..what a wonderful demonstration for cleaning the varnish brush and how to keep in the original packing to keep the bristles in shape. Also very very important tip you have shown to apply the tape on the brush handle covering the bristles. It is really very nice tip.Thanks so much.
I have never seen a spin brush tool like the one you showed. I may use a manual drill attached to my brush handle with a tape. Thanks very much for your lessons on varnishing.
Thank you very much for this detail. Heading over to JD now to get one of those brush spinners! And thanks to JD for sponsoring you, I'll throw more business their way.
Great video. Thanks. Idea: you can also use, a assume, the masking tape to “train” the bristles to clump together again. I actually thought you were going to do that, hence the idea. Thanks.
Forgive me for asking the silly question. Not at all questioning the technique I just heard something and I wanted to ask people who knew better than I do. The guy at the paint counter recently told me that when cleaning up oil from brushes such a stains and varnishes you should never touch it with water, even soapy water. Of course you are a master Craftsman and probably no more than him, so I'm just curious of when to use water and when not to use water I suppose. I've definitely let too many paint brushes become hard before their time.
Good video for cleaning! Is it ok to store the dirty mineral spirits in a regular water bottle? Nothing will happen? Do you throw it in the trash at some point? thx
Awesome!!! I know you didn’t do it but should I rinse it out again with water? With that can I use the brush in about 4 hours or does it need to dry? Thank you!
Great tips from an experienced artisan :)) If we dont have that spinning tool, we can fit it to a drill machine somehow, by creating a wooden clamp that fits in the machine head.
So helpful, thanks! Quick question: I learned from another UA-camr to soak my brush in mineral spirits overnight to clean it. I’m finding more and more bubbles when I go reuse the still-damp brush. Will letting it air-dry help this?
Great advise on a tool that many don't "respect" much and chose to throw it away after use or neglect to clean it. It is not an expensive tool but, non the less it is a tool and has to be in good shape to perform well. Can't imagine the Jackass who put a Thumb Down on this, why? It's a great video and useful, specially with the remaining "used" mineral spirit that you can use it later as a thinner. Thanks for a great advise.
Makes it much easier to purchase the good brushes when one can keep them going. Good brushes are not cheap and this is how we make them last. Oh, but I need a spinner thingie!
*Tapes around the bristles* Me: Hm, that's a good idea, so it doesn't wick up into the ferrule. Nice. *Pours out varnish into a bottle* Me: Smart. You can save it to use as thinner later on. *Spins moisture out of brush* Me: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT TOOL THAT IS AMAZING
If you're going to store brushes away for a good while, massage liquid soap into the bristles, shape the brush, wrap in cling wrap and store flat. Rinse in warm water prior to use.
Holy cow! So simple! "Keeping the brush clean" was the roadblock that prevented me from continuing an unfinished furniture project. Thank you!
Saved my butt! Thanks for the great video. I was the guy that bought a $16 dollar brush and didn’t know how to clean it properly. 😳

Sir, you are a genius. Thank you for the tips that can only come from the wealth of your experience.

Damn these old timers are smart. Always have the best common sense easy tricks for getting it done. Wish I knew a guy like him locally.
I also save dirty thinner, paint and varnish residue settles out in storage and I pour off the "clean" thinner for re-use.
Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for this answer for a while as I don’t need to throw the brush everytime when I finish the varnish.
I do appreciate your video because you explain every step beautifully. Thank you for doing what you do

Lou, is the best possible ambassador a company could have.

I’ve cleaned 1000’s of brushes, (mostly water base) these are great tips!
Professionalism at the highest level. Thanks Sir!

Who the hell would thumbs down this video?! Awesome info as always!
Thank you-love the reusing of the mineral spirits and varnish.
THANK YOU for taking the time to make this how to video.
Love your Video's could you tell me what ratio you thin down first coat of varnish and do you thin down any other coat's? thanks for your Help.
Great advice! Thank YOU!
I learn something every time i watch his videos
Awesome!! Thanks for the great tips.
Where did you get your brush spinner? Great idea to reuse the spirits for thinner.
Great video. Thanks. Idea: you can also use, a assume, the masking tape to “train” the bristles to clump together again. I actually thought you were going to do that, hence the idea.
Thanks.
Dude just blew my mind.
Super tip! Thank you
Great video. I give one extra water rinse at the end to get the soap out.
I've never liked dealing with varnish because I've always hated the idea of cleaning the brushes afterwards. BOOM!!! Solved!!
This was super helpful. Thank you!!!!
There it is!! Thanks!!
Wow great points on cleaning paint brush.
Is the procedure the same for cleaning oil paint from brushes?
Loved it!

Tools like 10 bucks at home Depot total worth it
Vary helpful, I'll be making some painters I know that do pro work to watch this. Perfect how clean a brush. P.S. I'm a career painter.
Hate to ask does this work for when it has dried fully onto the brush my spouse made a mistake
Thank you!!
Way cool!
Next level 👍
. if I wait for each coat to dry do I have to clean the brush this way?
how many times do you rinse with soapy water to know it is thoroughly cleaned. I have been having streaking issues. Is this why?
How long before you can use the brush again?
Love that accent!
Brilliant!
Very interesting!!! 👍💯👌
Thanks!
allways some thing to learn
Can we use kerosene to clean and layer soap and water
So helpful, thanks! Quick question: I learned from another UA-camr to soak my brush in mineral spirits overnight to clean it. I’m finding more and more bubbles when I go reuse the still-damp brush. Will letting it air-dry help this?
Nice
Fantastic! So helpful!
thanks i'm a perfectionist as well or at least i like to think of myself as one who likes quality in every aspect of life
What if you don’t have that spinning brush

Thanks John!
I REALLY wish I had watched this before I had ruined so many brushes 🤦♀️
I don't have thinner
Good bye ear drums at 1:31 and 2:04
I've got one of the great brains
How many people would have even noticed that the original box was able to be reused. Thank you, Louis. God bless
Im gonna pop a screw in my brush and put er on my drill!
the voice
It's gonna get used twice!
