Years ago I got some samples of this stuff from an art convention in Santa Fe. Loved it. Used up my samples. Finally made a search and found it here. (Duh) Its great. No oder. Nice price. Even loosened up a brush I thought was a goner.Bought this to take dried paint out of brushes. A friend artist said this would renew your brushes. It worked on some of them, but not all. You have to soak them overnight. I put mine in a container that has the built in screen on the bottom so your bristles don't get ruined. I then covered the screen area with the solution.I was looking for a paintbrush cleaner that didn’t have an odor and was biodegradable. This really works. My brushes have never been cleaner and they don’t dry out after using it.I paint, and it's really hard to find a good cleaning product that doesn't eat up your brushes. I love this cleaner. It's natural, doesn't seem to harm my brushes, and does a good job of cleaning both acrylic and oil paint. Has a clean, fresh smell; better than the strong turpentine and other cleaning agents.This stuff is fantastic! Every oil painter should have it. Stop wasting water. Use this to clean your brushes and keep your bristles in good shape. This is way under marketed. Everyone should have it. I was given a sample by an art teacher who had poo poohed it for a year before she tried it out and realized its value.I have found this conditions brushes better than anything else I've used. For the worst offender brushes in bad condition, this product has made them usable again in a long soak. The cleaning capacity is not the best I've used, but it does save brushes.I had hopes for this product after seeing its advertisement in a recent Art Magazine. This probably is a good conditioner for the brush, but forget about getting the paint off very easy. I am an oil painter and a clean one at that and it still does not cut through the paint in the cleaning process. It states that it is not necessary to use the soap in the end, but after using Bristle Magic I still had to really use the soap to remove the paint residue. My search continues..............Stuff works significantly well for oil paint. Doesn't smell horribly. Would definitely buy again in the future.
