Has anyone used the silicone glue brushes with epoxy? Does the glue pull off, or does it remove the bristles?
Preferably the Rockler, but I'll take any info.

------------------------------------------------- Epoxy, that's why chip brushes were invented.
I bought them in 100 piece lots.
Less than $0.25 for a 2" brush.

And epoxy will *definitely* pull the bristles out of them.

------------------------------------------------- Wait till Spring when WALMART puts out their Spring merchandise.
You will be able to buy that ROCKLER silicone glue brush for about
1/2 the price at WALMART.The only difference is that WALMART sells it as a bar-b-que sauce basting brush.
ROCKLER, my last choice supplier.

Woodcraft now has a silicon brush for $1.99. Comes in colors, too.

------------------------------------------- Compared to a 2" chip brush, doubt it's worth a hoot for laying epoxy.
With even the best price multiple of 6:1, not worth serious consideration IMHO.
BTW, a silicone brush doesn't make a very good bar-b-cue brush IMHO.
Can't comment how it works with TiteBond.

The silicone brushes work great with the PVA glues. They actually hold quite a bit of glue, the Woodcraft one, just long enough for it to flow out onto the work. Easy to clean and if you forget to clean it the dried glue pulls off with a bit of effort. Mine has helped me glue up about 9 pieces of furniture in the last year, not bad for $2.

Apparently no one has tried one for that. If you do try it, let us know how it works out.

Tried the One from Rockler. Some of the bristles came off with the glue.
