We used this to paint our deck flooring; BEHR Deckover..
+3
We tried to clean the bushes but the paint, which is quite thick when you apply it, dried and now we can't even chew the paint off. Does anyone have an idea of how to clean these bushes..I hate the thought of throwing them away...Thanks, Marlene

Try soaking them in hot water with fabric softener in it and there is a metal "comb" made for cleaning paint brushes... BUT if the paint is dried... they may not clean up -

Hi Marty. Try soaking them in Turpentine for a few minutes. Make sure you do this outside for the high order. -

When stoing brushes that have not yet been cleaned properly, store overnight in ziplock plastic bags. No matter what project I do, I always clean my brushes at the end of the day. Extends the life of the brushes. You live and learn and now you know! -

I don't think this is a water clean up product. You can try soaking them in turpentine, then using a comb to go through the bristles, but I think the brushes are a lost cause. -

Replacing the brushes is really not that expensive.
