    foam brush? How to clean?

    This is my first time to use a foam brush to coat a carbon tissue with Ammonium dichromate... How do I clean the brush afterword? should I just wash it with water?
    Thank you in advance

    Yeah, just rinse it out with water and only use it for coating tissue so you don't contaminate anything else.
    Regards

    I've thouroughly rinsed and re-used (as Erik said... using only for the same process) but for me they are so inexpensive and easy to get that I just throw them out.

    That is very true, David. I don't print much so using one for a session and throwing away is not a problem for me. I wish I could print more, but...

    Literally? I sincerely doubt that.
