Members PappyUSA Posted October 9, 2013 Members Report Posted October 9, 2013 I've always used Barge and tried some other stuff at different times but always went back to barge. That being said I'm guna try weldwood just because everybody else seems to like it. But I'm curious, what do you use for clean up on brushes with Weldwood ? Quote

Members PappyUSA Posted October 9, 2013 Members Report Posted October 9, 2013 Trashcan. Well, same as Barge but for half the price and no shipping I'd be stupid not to try it.Thanks! Quote
dirtclod Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 I don't use brushes. My glue is in a small coke bottle with a hole drilled in the top. I use a small piece of trimmed piece of sheep skin to put the glue on with and stick it to the top when i'm done. Been doing it that way for the last 10 or 12 years ever sense i read about doing that in the Leather Crafter Saddle Journal. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.

Members evandailey Posted October 9, 2013 Members Report Posted October 9, 2013 I think the Weldwood can calls for Xylene to thin and cleanup. The Xylol they sell at Lowes is the same thing. Quote

With the non-flammable, I have cleaned them with water. Same for clean up. With the other contact cements, I do as others have said, "trash can". God Bless. Ray Quote

If you have a harbor freight store close to you or want to order online, they have a 36 pack of long handled acid brushes for 1.99 regular price. Less than a nickel each, trash when done. You can also get their wood handled chip brushes for cheap if you need to cover large areas. Chuck Quote
