Stiff bristle or soft? White plastisol is a bear to get miscified (I made that up).

Medium ;D

No dip tanks here (though I wouldn't mind them)

I clean ink with press wash and paper towels, (If you soak in a tank, and/or use a water soluble ink degrader, a medium brush would be good here as well.
I then use a pretty stiff brush after I soften emulsion by spraying with remover.
I then use my medium brush for degreaser, or ReNuit de-hazer,
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

I need to get a quote for those color coded ones from Kiwo.  I really like that concept.

Thanks for the link. Westar is good folks too.


I did have to get something like yesterday, so went to the local hardware store.
3M makes a similar item, a handle with replaceable pads. Not super soft, not
super rough. Replacement pads are $2 each.

We'll see!

Paper towels Andy? Some flatstock habits never die eh?

Some of it is just old habits, but I do a lot of cleaning on the press, then take out the screen and hold it for a few days.
