I just finished my first handle, and glued in the $28.00 super fine badger knot from the 'nib. I thought it could use one more dip in the poly . I dipped it, and hung it from the bristles to dry. Apparently, I dipped too far, and some poly went up over the edge, and wicked up into the brush, ruining the lower half of my new badger knot. Now, a beautiful, unused new badger brush is an abused paint brush. ANYONE KNOW HOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO DISSOLVE MINWAX WATER BASED POLYURETHANE?
