So, it's a paintbrush cover. I used to see these things sold all over the place. I saw it on Shark Tank a lot of years ago. I don't see them. I got this one at the hardware show. I don't see them very much anymore, but I'm going to launch. Just going to throw my paintbrush in there. It says you could actually leave your paintbrush in there for up to 30 days, but as a professional painter, I would never leave my brush in there even overnight because it'll lose its stiffness. So, leaving it up to 30 days. So the longer the uh brush stays wet, the softer it gets. So it's always why we clean our paint brushes up at the end of every day. Let them dry out. They get their stiffness bass back. But if you're going to lunch, do it yourself. Is this something you would use? Let me know. Would you leave your brush in here for 30 days? Up to 30 days? Let me know.
