cleaning wax resist brushes

Arturo, it's been a long time!

Someone at a workshop told me to try the laundry per-treatment SHOUT for
getting dried liquid wax resist out of brushes. Sure enough. I keep my
brushes suspended in water to keep them from drying out (suspended with
a "brush washer" spring to prevent the brush from getting mashed, but a
spring clothespin on a stick might work) Occasionally they get too much
wax residue, and I shampoo them in straight SHOUT and bless the person
who shared the tip.
