Dry and Store Paint Brush

What happens here

After the paint brush is thoroughly cleaned with thinner, gently pat it dry. A common technique shown in the video is to lightly hit the brush against the side of your foot or a clean, flat surface. This action helps to remove excess thinner from the bristles and also 'fluffs' them, helping the brush to return to its original shape. For optimal storage, place the dried brush back into its original paper case or a brush keeper. This maintains the bristles' shape and protects them from damage, ensuring the brush remains in excellent condition for future use.

Goal: Dry the brush and preserve its shape for future use.
