I got kinda bored today and since I was stuck close to home, I thought I would try to clean a couple of brushes up a little. The cream and red Burma brush was in pretty good shape. I just sanded out the manufacturing seams, sanded to 1200, 2000, 2500 and buffed with finishing compound. It came out better than I expected as this was my first attempt at this. The green and white one I (I forgot the brand name) still has a ways to go but I wanted to see what the green was going to come out like. I done the same routine with it but it needs to be sanded again on the white. The bottom was in pretty rough shape and I didn't want to loose all the lettering so I went pretty easy on it. I forgot to take pics of the red and white on before I started but I'm sure everybody knows about the seams.
I've still got to spend a little more time on the green one. I wanted to try getting the seams off the Burma Shave before I tried it on my Ever Ready. I also have to re-knot it. Sorry about the GIANT pictures. I resized them and cropped the fire out of them but they are still huge.
It's only by doing does one realize ... not only the work involved, but the satisfaction as well. Carry on good sir.
Thanks a lot for rubbin it in "BUDDEH!" (Someday you'll see me do pics). I should clean my brushes(course I shake off the water before blooming).
