So I open this thread that I don't thread crap in Stu Dales thread.
Decription of that video:
Couple of things about this: - yep, crud covered needle is cruddy. - this process is exactly the same for brand new needles, or needles that have a few hours on them. - I do this every major clean of my brushes. - DO NOT USE hard polishing sticks or cloths... use a simple $3 3 step nail buffer. It’s soft and wont put flat spots in your needles. - don’t press too hard you can actually bend the needle. And for those of you that may say “you’d never have to do this if you keep your needles clean”... well.. guess what.... yeah.. you do. I do this for all of my needles. It improves the flow of the brush significantly, and is really simple to do.
Soooooooooooooo, is this the right way?
I also am wondering about the tip. You polish the tip also? Cause to me, looks like that top of the tip isn't polished.
