Shhhh....I know a secret....

at least to me, it is a "best kept secret" and I've been crafting and painting for a lot of years, and tried a good many ideas and products to help with this, all to no avail.

Did you know that this stuff is magic:

Here's why:  you know those paintbrushes that didn't get cleaned?  Or your favorite brushes that over time seem to keep paint in them until they become un-use-able?  Soak those brushes, no matter how full of paint and concrete-like they are in a glass with an inch or two of this in the bottom.  Soak them over night, or do like me and put them in there and leave them for a month, lol.  Even so, they've come out so soft and new...I'm amazed!

Because no blog post is a blog post without a photo, I'll share this with you.

The coloring on this one is so much better than this photo, and tonight, I put the clear coat on and it's even better.  I'll snap another pic and do a follow-up on it.  I coated a lot of rocks tonight that we've done over the last month-ish, so tomorrow might be a mostly-pictures post.
