Basics of cleaning....

[belfastboy]

I have a brush for my two silverbelly hats, and one for colored hats (which is only my sage and chocolate ones), or had at least. I did order a replacement. You don't want to use a silverbelly hat brush on anything but silverbelly because it'll transfer the silverbelly powder to it.



Thanks! Yeah, I don't use hardware store linseed oil (spent extra on double boiled, chemical free linseed oil. It's worth it), or shellacs. The shellac I have is dewaxed, and suspended in Everclear grain alcohol (smells pretty good too).

I used a 95% pure ethanol...they put the 5% methanol in it to stop me from mixing cocktails as I shellac the hats.
