Need a brush case!

[amy s.]

I need a case for sign brush storage that will hold oiled brushes securely without disturbing their shape. Any suggestions?

Tackle box.

Dick Blick and similar places have nice brush boxes

tackle box is cheaper and will suit you fine

I use a empty candy cardboard box with aluminum foil on the bottom and soak the brushes in oil and it is cheaper than a tackle box.
Had this box for 30 years on the shelf. Just don't let it get wet.

make sure you use lard oil to preserve the hairs,

I always liked the red transmission oil for my brushes, some may not agree but it has kept them good for over 30 years.

I also have use tranny oil for quite a while, with no problems. Never like Lard oil and once Sapphire brush oil disappeared I switched to trans fluid.

Never liked lard oil either, it smells and roaches seem attracted to eating the hairs on your brushes. Still have a some transmission oil left, but it is from the 60s and I am sure there are more additives now in the newer oil, so do not know if it would be good to use for brushes.

Maybe you can get some 60's Tranny Fluid here

I have used mineral oil for a long time. And here is a link to a brush box that I built years ago.
