We have all noticed a drop in quality of lot of products and tools over the last few years, which we usually ignore with the quip “they don’t make them like they used to” or something like that.
last week while helping a mate, I left a plastic handled Harris half inch brush in white spirit to clean out and forgot about it for 3 days. When he took it out for a wash, the soft touch parts of the brush had dissolved completely . Looking at the packaging, it says for walls, presumably implying for use with water based paints only. Used on the same job and paint, my older wood handled Harris brushes came out of the wash intact and looking great.
