BRISTLES WILL BE SCARCE ARTICLE Take Care Of Your Paint Brushes Paint brushes that have accumulated over the years in many households may be more valuable now than when they were first bought. The sources of supply of the finest bristles,— China, Japan and Siberia, are no long- er open,: while the need for these brushes is stepped up in industries supplying .the needs of the Navy, Army and Air Force. Conserve ,iteaV brushes by eliminat- ing the possibility of their becoming hardened and caked with paint: Immediately after completing the paint job remove as much paint as possible by brushing out on an ,ab- sorbent furface, Rinse the brush in paint thinner, wipe dry, and scrub thoroughly with 'warm water and soap, Rinse thoroughly until all traces of Soap are removed, Straighten out the bristles by combing with an ordinary comb. Vitally, wrap the bristles in paper and fasten with a tord tied around the ferrule. The brush will then be in good condition when it is required for the next' job. If the brush is to be used on two or three successive days, it may be kept overflight with the bristles int- mersed hi paint thinner, preferably painters' benzine. Old brushes which have become hardened, may be reclaimed by soak- big the brush in a paint brush cleaner according to directions on the packet. Soaking for 24 hours in a lacquer ter is excellent but this substance is no longer available for civilian use. After using the paint brush eleaneri gently remove paint still adhering -to the brush with a dull knife or comb. Finally the brush should be scrubbed with soap and water and rinsed thoroughly.
