M@TT Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Some guys have been using the finger method were using latex gloves for the application or should I say just the finger so the cleanup is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've always used a square tipped artist's brush and they last several years - just dip them in acetone or lacquer thinner and brush them out on a piece of cloth until they're clean and soft again. I don't get how a finger can get epoxy everywhere I want it, including around the lip margin and the hook hangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 i gues i hould clarify i still use a bruh in hard to reach areas but the main body i use my finger it seems to give a nice smooth finish. I use cheap kids nylon paintbrushes I find at wally world in the art department. I think they come about 30 to a pack for $2.48 so I just use one and throw it away. I also wear tight fitting plastic gloves whenever I work with epoxy. Don't like the idea of it on my skin. The container warns that it may cause cancer in the state of california; I don't actually live in california but I have visited there so I don't take any chances.

Kris Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I use the brush method. I also ran into the problem with the brushes stiffing up after several uses. What I do now is I clean the epoxy off with Acetone and then I clean the brush with dish detergent and warm water really well. This has allowed me to keep using the same brush for a long time before buying a new one. I also discovered that you can buy Acetone by the gallon from your local Beauty Supply store. I got a gallon of Acetone for $9.99. It seems to be more 'pure' (if possible). It seems to clean better. Probably just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
