Paint Puck Brush Cleaner 3-Pack - Reusable Silicone Cup for Acrylic, Oil & Watercolor | Art Studio & Classroom Essential

I love this item! Easy to use, helps clean brushes, and portable.I got these to clean off acrylic paint and they work fine. I only had the puck lift up once and I was able to secure it in place again. Very useful product!Initially I had trouble getting the puck to stick in my flat-bottomed collapsible cup even though I wet the puck first. Then I tried putting a little water in the cup first and pressing the puck down—still didn’t stick. Finally discovered that if I put water in the cup, poured it out and then pressed the puck in it would stay stuck. I have a 2nd silicone collapsible travel cup which is actually meant for drinking. It is tapered and has more folds than the first cup. I don’t have to stick the puck to the bottom of that one as the taper and folds allow it to be pressed down until it is secured under the last fold, which holds it securely. These work quite well for cleaning my brushes while painting.Small and easy on your brushes! I love how easily it cleans all my brushes! Such a time saver!Any container can now become your brush cleaning center! The suction cup holds the puck in place and you can tell all traces of paint have been removed! Very gentle on those natural brushes and kind to the synthetics as well. Looking twice my traditional metal cleaners ... buh bye!LOVE these Paint Puck paint brush cleaners! They've made the cleanup process so much easier and faster! Which is a big deal when you're working with acrylics. You can't let acrylic paint dry on your brushes. I was using a glass jar with a metal coil inside which, while satisfying to use, was so hard to clean afterward. Even dangerous! I cut my finger on the coil once while trying to clean the inside of the jar and was thankful I had had my Tetnus shot. Every time I tried to remove the coil to clean the bottom of the jar I had to hold my breath the glass wouldn't shatter in my hand, so I just stopped removing it and boy did it get disgusting fast! The paint pucks eliminate all that hassle. I just wet the suction cup before sticking them in the jar and they stay in place until I'm done and then they are super easy to remove, super easy to clean, and then the empty jar was easy to clean. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you the last time I used the coil it took me almost 30 minutes to get the thing clean. I ordered the paint pucks right after that. Boy am I glad I did!The other thing I notice is with the coil, a lot of acrylic bits would end up going down the sink drain, which can't be good for the drain/pipes. But, I don't have that with the pucks. I'm basically just dumping colored water down the drain. So far I can't find a single con. I also love that you get 3 in a pack. When I paint I stick 1 puck in the bottom of the jar and 1 on the jar wall, which is helpful if you've got a bigger jar with a lot of space around the puck. Having two pucks in there means the brush is getting clean from the side as well. I will for sure be ordering more paint pucks! I definitely recommend these neat little things! Plus, they're cute and come in fun colors! I don't mind having to spend a little money for something that makes creating art easier and less time-consuming. It is so worth it!You may think to yourself why do I need such a thing. Stop thinking and get this if you are a miniature painter. Cleaning my brushes hasn't been easier than ever before, no more going to the paper towel to wipe pigment out of your brush and then dipping it in the water again to further clean it. Scrape your brush against the nubs and boom its clean. I wish I had gotten these when I heard about them instead dilly dallying over it. Adds joy to painting, especially for us that are horrible to our expensive brushes.These paint pucks are nice, but small although they will probably do what they are meant to do. The only disappointment I have is that I ordered red but received bright pink. Oh well- I'm sure both colors perform the same. I'm just not a pink fan.I can’t paint without it now! It’s especially good to save your brushes from the constant attempts of cleaning paint that likes to get stuck in the ferrule (like super staining Watercolour paints or very thick paints like gouache).I have not tried it with any other medium as I don’t have any other medium to try this with.This is also very useful if you have a flat brush as these are usually a lot harder to clean just by swishing in the water potLove them. I got the full paint pot on which can be taken apart for travel and i can use them in my class with their cups . The only problem is the suction has been so strong that it's got stuck on the bottom. But eventually I managed to leaver it off. This doesn't happen oftenI've recently started painted with acrylics and immediately my brushes began to discolour despite me vigorously cleaning them after every session.I've seen these used on YouTube before so I thought I'd give them a go. Amazing! Such a simple thing but it saves me spending ages cleaning my brushes. Would defo order again.I love these little guys, they get most of the paint off my brush and have helped to keep my brushes in top condition. The only thing I want is the paint cup but it's not for sale in the uk yet. PLEASE HURRY UPThese little things do exactly what it says. Love how easily they remove any paint left on the brush..
