Here's a de-gunking formula.

Years ago Kate Albee from Kubert's art store gave me a formula for cleaning brushes and pens. 1/4 amonia, 1/4 mild detergent (i.e. dish), 2/4 water.

According to her, it is the equivalent of store bought cleaner. The amonia dissolves dried ink in the ferrul.

For what it is worth.

Thought you might like to hear about the twist I put on your method for using brushes.

I use a touch of 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner for the big water jar and clear water for the second.

Not sure why you put detergent in both, but my thinking was to minimize the return of detergent/shampoo etc, to the inkwell.

The idea of shampoo/condtioner? Well, it just seems to make sense.

Yeah, shampoo works great. I only use detergent that is mild...and sometimes the ink needs something stronger that shampoo to get the 'gunk' out!

Ah! So! So it's probably good to wash the brushes periodically in addition to doing it "online," so to speak, with these jars. Good to know, since I planned to cut it out.

Another thing I picked up . . . Howard was very specific in recommending cleaning with a lanolin-based soap. (He also said do what an inker tells you - he would know best!)

Thanks for the follow up on the tip. After ruining the first generation in record time, I baby these beauties: #2 Isabey 6228, for pen-like detailing, Raphael 8404 and 8408 in #1 and #2, and Winsor and Newton Series Seven #3. I also use some cheap sumi brushes that perform outrageously well. Point is, there's no replacing them anytime soon. They've got to last!

How about weighing in on a question of proper procedure and care of equipment when you have a minute? I'm asking around.

"Big John" Buscema advised to soak pens and brushes when not in use while you're in the studio inking. Joe Kubert advises against soaking the brush because soaking will ruin it.

Where do you stand? What do you do? Do you know what Kubert means when he says that soaking will ruin the brush? How will it do that?

Thanks.
