An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

It was just a cheap single-use brush I was gonna toss anyway, but I remembered seeing a YouTube video from seejanedrill about using oil-based soap to clean brushes, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I let it soak overnight in a plastic bag with undiluted pine soap, then cleaned it this morning with a stiff brush. Yesterday it was rock solid - now it's perfectly soft, like new.
In order to approve the post .... Please confirm you watched the whole process
He watched paint undry?
we can only hope
It's not against the rules .......
that is a great thing to know!
Brand of soap please?
Murphy Wood Cleaner was the one recommended on the video but since that's not sold where I live I used "mäntysuopa" instead which is a traditional Finnish soap made from pine oil ie. tall oil fatty acid. This one specifically.
Murphy's is pretty good but pricey, here. I did a search but didn't find any USA retailer offering this product. Thank you anyway.
You are depriving brush companies from selling more brushes.
You can do this with old and tired wood decking as well. You clean it off, then you just work some oil based soap into it. Brings it back to life.
Pumice soap also works
Holy shit I didn't know this could be done
