    Hello all

    this is not strictly woodworking, but my wife has got fed up with me going on about it, so I thoght I would bore you! Has anyone used the dandy brush/roller cleaner? Had a lot of decorating to do so treated myself to a new set of brushes for water and oil based paints saw this on QVC and thought I would give it a go, even though it looked like a gimmick, it's amazing three brushes used all day with white gloss, cleaned and dry in 5 mins and no crap in the sink! and no I have no connection with dandy but its been a while since I've seen a new idea that works this well so I keep telling everybody about it!

    Dandy have demonstration videos. I cant work out how to add a link to these sites to this

    post but you should be able to google them.

    Gavin, try clicking the chain-link icon next to the Smilies icon. You paste your URL in the top box and any text in the one below.

    It should end up like this:

    http://www.handysolutionsuk.com/Video/Set/paste.htm

    Or:

    Like this.

    Hope this helps.

    I bought the dandy brush cleaner when QVC first aired it, brilliant tool and I would thoroughly recommend it.

    Alan, Al

    I used it for brushes and rollers with water and spirit based paints, and button polish. The only problem like Alan says is rollers that wont fit on  the shaft. I found the best thing to use to spin it in is an old swing bin you get leaks from a cardboard box
