I use ones from any merchants, they normally last me ages a few months.
what you doing with them?

 

[MZR]

well i wish i could say i was doing something other than applying flux to pipes

search on ebay for craft or glue brushes, looking for the type that they use in infant schools etc......

Do you clean them off after use? I've had the same pack of 3 brushes for a year. Just the cheapo ones from plumbs.

nah i dont clean them i cut a hole in the top of the flux an just leave em in there lol

Those all plastic (craft type) that someone mentions are really good. They dont rot like the metal or wood ones.

Most merchants don't sell em though.

I've actually started buying packs from B&Q. About £4 for 5 brushes which still aint cheap. Last me a good few months.

I had one for about a yr. Lost it and bought the cheap set of 3 from plumb centre and lost them all in a week. I usually wipe them off at the end of the day
