Cleaning Brushes Used with Glue for Silkscreening T-Shirts

"AMANDA CLAIRE: So I'm done with all my really fine brush work and I kinda want to get away from this brush as quick as I can because it takes forever to get coverage with it. But I got all my details done. And before I move on to my next brush, I'm definitely going to clean my brush out with water because the kind of glue we're using, like Mod Podge or any similar glue that's water based, but when it's dried, it basically turns into kind of like a plastic and it won't dissolve again. So if you don't clean your brushes and you just kinda set it aside and if it dries on there, then you could basically throw that brush away because it's not coming out. Okay. So I've got my brush, so now I'm going to switch to my medium brush and just same thing. I mean, it's kind of, you know, it's a dry, bristle brush. I'm going to kind of just--I'm just kind of massaging the head of the brush here to just--if there's any loose bristles, kind of pull them out. And I'm just going to now keep going with the glue. Again, not putting it on too thick but now that I've kinda got the fine details just kind of start filling in between them and just try and get as much coverage as I can while not messing up the detail I've already done. So I'll work at the medium brush for a while, kind of finish out these areas here, maybe make--trace it one time. You just kinda get a little bit further away from the image. And the last thing I'll do, once I do that, is move to a large brush and fill in all this big area there."
