    Abstract: To facilitate any painting task, painters have a variety of sizes of paintbrushes specifically designed for the job at hand. It is essential for painters to maintain several brushes to accommodate any painting job. Unfortunately, properly storing paintbrushes during use can often present a challenge. Many painters simply place their paintbrush directly inside the paint pail, or store the brushes upside down in an empty paint can. Storing the paintbrush in this manner can prove detrimental to the paintbrush bristles, often resulting in dried and matted bristles. Storing a paint brush upside down during use can also result in paint running down the brush and coating the handle in a hard to remove residue. The Brush Buddy's uniquely designed storage receptacle protects expensive paintbrushes and facilitates a clean and efficient working environment.
