Just cleaned out my workspace and came across a ton of those things. Feels wrong to throw these out and waste a potentially decent opportunity. Does anyone else keep these things around? Make anything cool?

Best way to store your brushes after use is bristles down (so any residual moisture goes out that way)... so it's useful to keep those covers for their intended purpose.

Agreed. However all of these cylinders' respective brushes are long gone. They're free agents!

sadly no, I've not found primer that will stick to them - it keeps coming off. Something about the material. Which is too bad cuz they're the perfect size for conduits etc for terrain. I just keep the spares in case I loose one off a brush for now.

Good uses for terrain, or indeed models...I'd assume primer would stick if you hit the things with a decent sandpaper scrub before painting. I've never used them that I can think of.

Maybe, but honestly I'd just throw them out and if I ever have a need for small cylinders just buy a length of evergreen in the appropriate diameter.
