Hi Dakkadakkians

So I have a thing of masters cleaner soap.
Have been using it and works pretty well.

However one of the things it asks for is using a 'lathe'. Feel a bit dumb, but what is that and how do I get it?

Youtube turotrials ive seen dont cover it.

My best guess would be a device to create a “lather”. For example, old shaving soaps would have a soft brush that you would use with the soap to create a dense foam to shave with.

Basically you get the soap wet and scrub the brush around on it till the brush builds a “lather” that you then apply to your face.

Put the brush soap on a lathe, Set it running then touch your brush to it.. It will be clean in no time.

But seriously yeah I think you mean lather. It means working the soap into a foam. This activates the cleaning magic

For Cleaning
1. Wipe brush to remove excess paint.
2. Wet brush and/or “The Masters”® with water.
3. Swirl brush in “The Masters”® and work into a lather.
4. Rinse with clean water.
5. Repeat if necessary until brush is clean (lather will be white). You can clean one color after another without removing the previous colors from “The Masters”® first.

For Preserving
1. Clean brushes as above
2. Leave clear lather on bristles, shape and allow to dry.
3. Shake powder off bristles when ready to use again.

For Restoring
1. Clean brush as above, but use hot water.
2. Allow lather to remain on bristles for a few minutes.
3. If necessary, tap bristles on hard surface to work paint out.
4. To clean paint from ferrule, allow lather to remain on the bristles for several hours, and repeat cleaning process.
5. Leave clear lather on bristles, shape, and allow to dry.

Don't feel down. English is my first language and I still wasn't sure I was doing it right. Not everything in this hobby is obvious to everyone.
