Never had much luck with synthetics, tip curl after one session. I didn't know they could be repaired and always thought what's the bleedin' point ( no pun intended) and into the terrain buggered brush tub they went. Now I know better, I may have to revisit the synth brush! As ever thanks for the knowledge.
You can do the 3rd method with sugar water. Dissolve the sugar with water (not much) just to have this sticky consistency. Same effect, it will harden the brush but the sugar will dissolve when you put it in water
Nice one, never seen anyone actually straight out synthetic bristles before, didn't know that was a thing. What is that metal cup called? I want something like that to mix paints for my airbrush
Cheers, yeh I got the metal cup idea from Marco Frisoni, Mr Hobby sell them, but I got these on Amazon, I will pop a link in the description and drop you a DM with the link
There are a few brands that make it but I use Green Stuff world Brush repair gel, if you are UK based I have a link in the video description. If you are based inside the EU I would order direct from Green Stuff World.
I wouldn’t use boiling water but warm water is fine, you would use warm Water to wash your hair, same principle. Either way this video is focused on Synthetic brushes
Thanks Everyone, if you enjoyed this or not, let me know, it’s always great to get feedback

@@RisingApe sweet cheers mate
Thank you for this helpful video. Where did you get those little metal dishes from please?
They are available on Amazon, search metal mixing cups and you will get what you need 👌
2:15 Using a bar of soap 🧼 to clean and reshape bristles is like using a whet stone to sharpen a blade. 🗡️ 😅
Thanks! This really helps!
Awesome, glad it was useful
Some good tips in this one
Thanks mate, appreciate that
Good quote bud
Thanks, it’s my favourite quote of all time
Does this work on a da vinci brush? I got mine new and came all messy out from the package
The cleaning works on any brush, the hot water, just synthetics.
Someone has good taste in weightlifting equipment :)
😂 T-shirt’s anyway! I can’t afford Rogue Plates, I use Bison (uk brand)
See, I've been trying this and it's just not working. My fine detail brushes are getting too frayed to work right.
There is a limit sadly, brushes don’t last forever
Thank you
You’re welcome ☺️

Do... do Americans not have kettles??
Well, according to some American friends no not all 🤷♂️
Ertu islendingur?
No, but I do follow some Icelandic athletes
Why is there no one using a sponge instead of a rag. So much better and easier.
How do you mean? Using a sponge instead of a tissue to wipe the brushes down?
Yes
Note to self: Reconditioning a crappy cheap brush doesn't magically turn it into a good brush. :(
Sadly not, you can make them usable though
Not a good idea hot water in Kolinsky brushes, dont do it
I wouldn’t use boiling water but warm water is fine, you would use warm
Water to wash your hair, same principle. Either way this video is focused on Synthetic brushes
