Pup Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Recently, I began using D2T as a finishing coat for my jig heads. I use an eye shadow brush to coat the heads and it works great. When I've finished, I soak the brush in a medicine cup filled with 91% Isopropanol. The brush hairs come out of it clean and soft. My question is...does doing so involve a release of toxic fumes from the solvent that I can't detect by smell? I'm trying to be very careful and thought I'd better ask this question now, before I continue on with this practice. Perhaps many here have done this in their personal experiences. Thanks, Pup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you are referring to the alcohol, D2T mix when cleaning the brush, I would say know. I use lacquer thinner to clean my brushes. I'm sure that's more toxic than alcohol. The only thing the lacquer thinner does is shorten the life expectancy of the brush. I use it about 6 times than I throw it away.
