Hi all
Do any of you have any good tips for keeping your fine (0 down) brush's
in the best condition. I mainly use enamle paint and when i am trying to
paint detail or things such as figures no matter how i look after them
they always seem to start splitting, even after very short usages. I
have tried various brushes including a variety of specialist art brushes
for use with oils and enamles. I wash them out in white spirits or
thinners then dry them off on cloth, and store them in a pot with the
bristles facing up. How long do your fine brush's last? any good tips on
preventing this frustraing thing from happening?

Thanks for any help.
Felix
