Setting a paint brush in a can....
For those of you who don't finish that paint job or want to wait around while that brush is in the can of thinner.
Two tips for you that my dad years ago taught me.
1) Wrap the brush up in a handi-bag and put it in your freezer.
If you're going to put it in a can with cleaner:
2)Lay the brush along a paint stick or similar piece of wood and use an elastic band to hold it on the wood about 1/2 " up from the end,
this takes the stress of the brush hairs and still allows them to be in the cleaner.
Also, use a can with a plastic lid that slides over the brush handle & stick then seals the top of the can.

Setting a paint brush in a can....
Nice +tip Mil1ion!
Thanks for helping others out!
I use coffee cans for the thinner w/plastic lids although the thinner sometimes gets to the lids... I also have some tall thin metal cans (old welding rod) that will take the brush and stick whole without having to cut a hole in the lid.
