## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the ingredients?**
A: At the General Pencil website they say, "“The Masters”® was formulated in conjunction with a cosmetic laboratory to help condition and preserve your brushes with the same care and thought as products that you use on your hair." Obviously that doesn't tell you the actual ingredients.
You can read the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) here: http://www.generalpencil.com/uploads/2/1/9/9/21998338/brush_cleaner_2013.pdf
Usually the MSDS lists ingredients, but this one does not.  That is allowed if ingredients are a trade secret. But it does say there are no hazardous ingredients.

**Q: Will this work on India ink paintbrushes? If not, what will?**
A: I have not tried it with ink but if you usually wash your brushes with soap and water, it is good for the brushes - I don't know if it would get dried permanent ink out - i doubt it.

**Q: Is this product gentle enough to clean rubber stamps?  Occasionally I have purchased a very well-used rubber stamp on eBay that has caked on ink.**
A: hi! I recently purchased some old rubber stamps to test this product. It worked well on some very old postal stampers. The product was gentle enough and did not cause any further deterioration of the rubber. I used a small paintbrush to apply the product - a soft toothbrush may work as well or better.

**Q: What does it mean when it says "clear" under the color? Is it the same product as the original? Which is a milky color.**
A: Mine is the same old milky color it's ever been. And I love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! Awesome! Wonderful! Great for large chalk, furniture and house paint brushes
*by C***T on March 15, 2018*

Amazing! The first thing to know is I paint furniture so use larger and much thicker paintbrushes than those used in other reviews (chalk paint and thick Zibra brushes mainly - these brushes are 1"+ thick & 2" or more wide) . I use chalk, acrylic, and latex paints and polyurethanes.I've used a variety of other brush cleaners and they've all left a bit to be desired - some more so than others. It irritates me when the white bristles of my Zibra & other brushes are stained the color of the paint I've used because that means there's still paint in the brushes. Other cleaners require soaking the brush to deep clean which isn't great for the bristles and a bit of paint still remains anyway, especially deep inside the brush, even after much scrubbing of the bristles. I bought the 24 oz tub of The Masters Cleaner and am amazed! I did the deeper cleaning method on my chalk paint and thick Zibra brushes first and the bristles came out white again!! It took much less scrubbing. I now spend 1/4 the amount of time cleaning brushes after my daily painting marathons and my brushes come out much cleaner. The best part is that after using The Masters once, the paint no longer adheres to the bristles nearly as much making the cleaning so much easier and the paint releases beautifully the next time I paint without clugging up in the brush. A good rinse makes them as clean as scrubbing when using other products! I still go ahead and clean them with The Masters, of course, leaving a bit in the brush to shape the bristles. I love that I no longer have those 3 or 4 stray bristles sticking out and marring my paint lines. Plus, since you can leave some of the product in the bristles to shape and condition your brushes, I know longer have to worry about completely getting the product out when rinsing - which has been a chore in the past. I just rinse until it runs clear at the ferrule and I can no longer see product in my brush then I apply the appropriate amount for shaping and conditioning. I did think it was a bit on the expensive side but the 24 ounces will last forever and the time and brushes it saves me makes it extremely cost effective. It smells wonderful, too! Perfect. My favorite Amazon purchase ever and that says a lot!
