But there's one thing you can do to store away paint brushes without dipping them in solvents or water. Here's what to do:
- After painting, ensure the paint brush has little paint left on it.
- Wrap the paintbrush's bristles with a plastic sheet or insert the bristle end inside a small plastic bag. The plastic should be long enough to cover the handle's neck or that narrow portion of the handle near the metal ferrule.
- Tie the plastic sheet tightly around paintbrush's neck twist tie or a thin wire. The wrapped paintbrush should look like the one in the photo below.
- Put the wrapped paintbrush inside the refrigerator (yes, refrigerator!) where it's unlikely to be moved.
- Tell all that you have a paintbrush inside the ref so nobody mistakes it for a popsicle!
When you're ready to use the paintbrush, simply take it out the ref and it's good to go! Don't forget about it though if you need to defrost the ref.
