Are you a paint brush licker / sucker??

[Shadow Queen]

I do. Guilty as Charged

 

[CaptBavo]

I've got the streaks on my lips to prove it

 

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I do.

 

[Greg Smith]

Yep.

 

[Captain_Nemo]

Yep

 

[Banichi]

Me too, how do you think I found out that gw foundation paints taste so bad. It must be because they are more concentrated or something.

[Blu_Majik]

i'm self taught and i lick brushes.

your maybe just a more polite person than i

 

[hegemon]

i was never taught either.

i just did it to dry my brush oncw when i had no tissue, then found it kept the point better than when i used the tissue.

I'm self taught.
I find I don't 'lick' the brushes, but bring them to a point with my lips. :?

 

[Banichi]

so I never picked up bad habits like licking brushes off anybody.

Yup, licking bushes off people could be unhygenic. :lol:

That's why I never kiss them on the mouth... 8)

 

[Sigmar357]

I must confess i am a paint brush sucker.

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Never thought of doing it, actually. I guess the smell of Tamiya paints give some warning it may taste bad. And, no. I don't plan to find out. :wink:

 

[Silvereye]

I'm very glad I don't use oil paints any more....

 

[juggler69uk]

licking or sucking brushes back into shape was often a cause of ill health and even death amongst artists in "the past" when paints had poisonous chemicals in them, such as cadmium, arsenic, lead etc

I got into the bad habit of licking the brushes. When i realized I had gotten into the habbit I spent some time trying to break myself of the habit. I have failed to date.

Oh well. 8)

I lick - but only when using waterbased acrylics fortunately I've never made the mistake of licking old school model paint

Oddly I don't mind the taste of GW paints, the cheap craft paints are a little yucky

but I really dislike the taste of the reaper paints - go figure - but I like the paints

didn't mean to shift the topic to paint tasting - just an observation

At the end part of the instructions:

Shape the head after cleaning (do not point in your mouth).

Sucking brushes is just wrooong.
