so, to give back something to the community: I just read a tip that says if you wash your brushes with a hint of dishwashing soap, it will give you softer bristles. same bag o tricks recommends using magnets set in plywood to soften up your vise jaws, but that's not really a paintbrush tip... but, i also read that another use for your paintbrushes once they're trashed is to cut the brush end off to use the wood or plastic handle as a stir stick. that is a paintbrush tip.

also, never leave your brushes standing in a cup, lay them on a paper towel to dry. this way, the tips dont dry in a 'bent position, thus ruining them. |

 Thanks ZG. I never realized thats what made my tips curl. I knew not to leave them bristles down, but I didnt think of bristles up. D'oh
