Any paint store or  one that sells paint .

You can take an old natural bristle paint brush that's stiff as a board if you've used oil base paint ,soak it in acetone and it will limber right back up given enough time .

Now I've never screwed up a paint brush in my life but I always seem to find somebody too lazy to clean them up so I have to resort to extreme measures at times . --mumble grumble --- >:(

While on the subject as slight skew of the subject don't try acetone on exploded nylon used for water based paint ,won't work .What will work is boiling water and ERA or liquid Tide .Cheap brush toss it but I buy 20 dollar brushs so I don't .Still cuss though .
I'm with Al I buy good brushes too.   Takes me 30-45 min. to really clean them Purdys.  Thanks for the tip on Tide.
