just a thought…is there a way to clean brushes and then take them out of the acetone to dry so your not letting it just evaporate??? that way, if youre a BY shaper/glasser building one board a month, youre not spending money every week on acetone. thanks Josh
josh I’ve found that if you wash your brushes in a little acetone then keep them in a sealed container of fresh,clean acetone you shouldn’t have any problems.
or another alternative is as one of the other guys said the other day acetone your brush letit dry then shove it in the washing machine with your shaping clothes, just dont let your girlfriend catch you!

If you cut a little “X” in the plastic lid of a coffee can, you can slide the handle through and keep the bristles inside soaking in acetone without it evaporating very much. It also keeps the bristles off the bottom of the can where cruddy residue hangs out.
good idea john…will have to try that. thanks man. -Josh
