I went to paint a model, dipped the brush in the paint and it didn't really go on the smoothest. A part of the brush uh brushed another part of the model and there were flecks of dust coming off. Sure enough I flick a couple tips under my light and lots of particulates fly off the tips! I did try washing my brushes last week to help maintain their life so maybe some soap dried in the brushes?

So I painted a techmarine, washed my brushes in soapy water, rinsed, let dry for more 4 ish days, then painted up an impulsor with no problems with the brushes or paint.

Is this normal and I'm just crazy? Or did I not do a proper job of cleaning my brushes?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11059880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11059880.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11059896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11059896.page GMT
But is the area particularly dusty? I live in a dusty environment and have not really ever had this issue.

Other thoughts could be if the paint isnt mixed well enough and possible getting little clumps of pigment drying. Is your paint drying in the brush, maybe worth getting a wet pallet if that is a issue.
Pigment powders also could be a issue if you use them, but they should be fine in paint and not really cause visible issue if you are cleaning your brushes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11059988.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11059988.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11060108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796325/11060108.page GMT
