Billy Vivona says he uses brushes for many years,Is he leaving them in the rush cleaner between uses? Doesn't this thin the epoxy? Gene

No, when you withdraw it from the brush cleaner (U-40 Trondak) you just squeegee it with a paper towel. That removes about all of it. You won't notice any change in the viscosity of your epoxy.

Ray,
The folks that leave brushes in brush cleaner, take the brushes out of the brush cleaner, DRY the brush on a paper towel and go to work applying finish.
