Hmm,
I've been wondering. Aside from entering a time warp, what kind of brushes
*should* I get for hot wax. I've sure destroyed my share. It'd be nice to
find one that could hold up to 250 F melted paraffin. I do massage soap
into them before using, and clean with hot water afterward. The wax doesn't
seem to be the problem so much as the exposure to heat. Any ideas, anybody?
