I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but I recently discovered that putting the brush that I use to seal staves in the freezer keeps it from drying out. I've been using Cabot polyurethane. When I'm done sealing staves I wrap it tight in a plastic bag, put a clip on it to hold the bag, and then put it in the freezer. When I take it back out its still wet and not frozen. I've been using the same brush since late April.

Learn something new all the time. Thanks

Don't confuse your brush for a Popsicle on a hot day :o
Cool find Clint !( no pun intended)

If I'm doing a painting job around the house I'll wrap the brushes and rollers in Saran wrap when I take a break or over night to keep them from drying out. Never tried the freezer though...but I'm not holding the brushes for months. ;D

I won't Tracy. I put the brush in my animal parts freezer in the garage.

The Little Woman let's me get away with an animal parts freezer. It started migrating to the food freezer. She made me move them. Back down to one. I suppose that I should be thankful.

I hear ya Matt. When the wife found a beaver head in our kitchen freezer we decided it was best to get a small one for the garage.

A past employer had us do that with paint brushes. I thought it was silly at first, but it works.

I also have an "animal parts" freezer in my basement/shop. It sometimes catches the overflow from the one upstairs. ;D You'd think it would go the other way too. ???

Very cool, good to know. I go through a lot of brushes

That's an old house painters tip. I keep all of my expensive house painting brushes and rollers in the freezer. You can never get all of the paint out.

If I'm not going to be using my polyurethane for a while I might put the can in the freezer and see what happens. I hate that crust layer that forms on the surface once the can gets low.
