Silicoil Brush Cleaning Tank Jar

It seems a lot of money for a jar but the coil really does make a difference. It's such a clever design.

I use these for cleaning my brushes with mineral spirits after oil painting, but over time the paint builds up in the bottom and after replacing the mineral spirits a few times I have empty this jar out to clean it.When cleaning it the coil is very hard to get out and it gets a film of paint on it that is pretty impossible to clean, so I end up buying multiple of these jars. I love them but it would be great if they were easier to clean. Despite having to replace them periodically I still love them.

Love that you can see and know how clean your solvent is and when to change it. Easy on the bristles of the brushes too.

The jar is fine but the lid came broken, not something I would expect paying this price

Love ittt super easy to use

It's good for cleaning bristle brushes, to a lesser degree soft brushes, but the coil is not removable from the jar so after a time it gets clogged up with paint residue and difficult to clean. Therefore has a limited shelf life before needing to be replaced.

You can easily make something similar but buy this if you're rich.I think this should be priced around £5 in the UK, if it was £10 it would be very over-priced. These are imported which is adding on some expenses to the seller's price but someone's still making a big profit on these.If you get a wide jar, curl up some thick wire and drop it in, you've now got something which will do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. If you consider yourself to be a creative person then creating your own version of this jar should be a quick and easy and cheap job.This thing does the job fine but it's just a shame that the price is ridiculous (in the UK at least).
