How to clean a brush used to glue tubulars?
I bought a couple small brushes to apply tubular cement/glue to some rims recently. Got the glue nicely on the rims, but I'm having trouble cleaning the brushes and don't want to buy a new brush every time I do this. Soaking the brushes in acetone or alcohol doesn't seem to help much. Tubular cement/glue is tough, tacky stuff which comes off of a rim okay with some acetone and a soft rag, but it doesn't come out of a brush very well.
An attempt to apply glue with a toothbrush turned me off. Bristles aren't soft enough despite using the softest grade. Using a plastic bag over my index finger proved too messy.
Any tips?

Buy new brushes and toss these ones. I can't imagine you will ever get them clean enough to use again
