Are the paint brushes also polish/acetone safe?

No they are not. So when using you have to be careful not to get acetone on them. Ha it was te first thing I tested and made a mess at the bottom of the brush. The dotting tools are perfect. Brushes are useful but yes they will mess up w acetone. Hope that helps ;)

I have cleaned the brushes and dotting tools many times with acetone polish remover and they hold up fine. The brushes don't lose hairs and they go back to their original shape easily. I do treat them gently and dry them flat on a paper towel.

This was a gift for my niece, but she has done designs on my nails and I've seen her clean them afterwards with acetone with no problem.

I use my brushes for nail art with nail polishes, so I use a small amount of polish remover. I dab them on a gauze pad. Do not soak the brushes in remover!

Yes they can. but if they are use for painting with a outside paint toss them. If I used the brush with a waterbase paint for touch ups you can wash the brush & reuse.

I would not risk damage to the clear coat. Besides, you can probably get a cheaper version at an auto supply store, that is made specifically for the degree of polishing you are looking for.

I don't see why not if they're sanded and cleaned first. However know that it is an oil based paint not latex so cleanup requires mineral spirits.

I use and abuse these brushes daily with polycrylic, latex and chalk paints. They wash up nicely with a little soap and warm water. Eventually, they'll begin to get stained and the metal ferrule will accumulate dried paint. When this happens, I just boil some water, add a few drops of dawn dish liquid and the brushes and let them soak until the dried paint comes off. They clean up beautifully!

Yes, no problem. We do use a brush on them to clean them after using them for meat in the oven, but it isn't a problem.

It's safe to use, but not to general polish. Remember that the rubbing compound remove the tiny scratches and prepares the surface for the real polish with the specific product for that job.

Soak in acetone (or similar polish remover) for a minute or so. Rinse with water or wipe with a wet wipe and allow for them to air dry. Do it in a glass dish or similar (I use a shot glass) because acetone can ruin plastics. Also be careful not to fill acetone past the metal part because it will ruin the white paint on the brushes (found out the hard way)

If you have some "goof off" or even non-acetone nail polish it does ok. I have, however, switched to good old fashioned water soaking, followed by some spray lubricant (CRC/WD-40, etc), as it soaks in and loosens the adhesion to the metal. It's also safer.

No, they are not. Also, regarding the black oily substance I found on the knives when I first received them, it is no longer a problem. The knives do not corrode, or give off any kind of substance. It must have been factory residue.

The bristles are liner safe. I have used it on a vinyl liner with no problems.

I wouldn't suggest it, they're really poor quality. You have better luck finding fine tip small brushes at the art store, if you want a true fine line.

yes - clean surfaces with sanding and acetone. Bi-metal corrosion not an issue, as this does not act like steel.

Not at all. I have used it it with plastic bristle brushes as well and have had no effect on them. Been using it for over 3 years with no problems what so ever.

You need to be careful of what kind of plastic. Most plastics are fine, but you should always double check. If you are unsure of what type of plastic it is, try using the acetone on a small portion first to see how the paint/plastic react. Good luck.

These brushes are on the cheaper side, so you can try it use it on a brush that you don't use to see the result, but it can ultimately lessen the lifespan of the brushes. It's better to use none-acetone based.
