DIY woodworking often involves the process of finishing the wood using a stain, varnish, shellac, lacquer, paint or other finishing product. This in turn requires brushwork. It sometimes happens that you would like to "pause" during the process for a few minutes or a few hours. If you do, you are faced with the daunting task of cleaning your brushes or else returning to the unpleasant reality of a hardened brush that may need to be replaced. The good news is that there is a solution to this tricky situation. Simply wrap your wet brush well in plastic wrap. The kind used for food preparation and storage should work okay. Wrap the brush well, being sure that no open areas exist. Your brush will remain wet this way for several hours. You can take a break from your woodwork projects, return, and resume working on your finishing with minimal fuss.
