Scrub paint from deep in bristles without damaging delicate brush hairs
Stroke oil-soaked bristles across the aluminum coil and watch paint particles release from deep within the ferrule, that's the cleaning action most rinse cups miss. This 12-oz. glass tank uses a spring-tension coil that flexes enough to work paint loose without splaying delicate brush hairs. The coil sits elevated above the tank bottom, so loosened pigment settles below while your cleaning surface stays clear for the next brush.
The screw-on aluminum lid seals between painting sessions, containing solvent odors and preventing evaporation. Glass construction resists chemical degradation from turpentine, mineral spirits, or commercial brush cleaners, maintaining clarity so you can monitor solvent condition. The tank works equally well with water for acrylics or gouache, though its design particularly benefits oil painters who need thorough cleaning without aggressive scrubbing that damages brush structure.
That coil tension matters more than it seems, too stiff and you'll damage brushes; too loose and paint stays trapped. Silicoil calibrates this balance to extract paint efficiently while preserving brush integrity across repeated cleanings. The compact 12-oz. capacity suits studio work without taking up excessive bench space.
