I Am A Failure When It Comes To Cleaning Paint Brushes

Rapid Brush Cleaner . This stuff will take even dried paint out of brushes.I was a professional painter for around 50 years .Used real good brushes and took good care of them . If paint is doing as you say on most surfaces you are doing something wrong .If it's just doing it on these cheap hollow core raised panel pre hung doors they sell these days it's not your fault at all. Some paints are just not compatible with others and this also causes this . The crap they spray on these doors ALWAYS causes this problem.I actually had to spray then with oil based paint before I could brush on Moores semi gloss to stop this. Modern paints are nothing like the paints we had back in the day even 15 years ago.They are a whole new system and it's a wise idea to stick to one brand for the whole job. With artist oils it's a whole other story .I do those as well . They act nothing like house paint . Paint has become crazy expensive too .I found that the cheap paints do what you describe more than the 40+ dollar Benjamin More paints and also the quality of your brushes can have much to do with your work.Imperial 38081 Rapid Brush Cleaner - Gallon
