Anyone have a good degreaser-applying brush (sponge? stick???)?
We've used the "chemically resistant" brush (we like the blue better than the red) : http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/CCDB (http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/CCDB)
THEY SUCK. They leave brush hairs on clean screens from the very first use.
Anyone?
A quality brush? A quality sponge?

We have S-Mesh and were told to use Natural Sponges from Murakami... we haven't looked back since.
-
Natural sponges, you mean, the [no longer] living creatures? They mostly seem pretty fru-fru - where do you source yours? Does the pricing difference reflect quality? How long before they start falling apart?
-
we use the CPS brushes...
havent bothered trying out anything else.

I'd have to ask the wife where she found them... she's the natural guru around here. We aren't a high production shop but they have been holding up for us for a while.
Like I said, we have S-Mesh, so we aren't looking to dig into the screens when we clean them. We try to let the chemicals do the work and we just spread them around/agitate it all a bit.

I like the foam block from icc chemical.

CPS here as well.

Never heard of these CPS brushes - look interesting.

I think they have three different ones. I use the blue one.

Same here,
we are using the color coded CPS brushes. Top quality. Never had to replace them.
-
What is the softest one (color)?
-
As far as I know CPS does only do 1 type. The color coding has only one purpose so you don`t confuse you brushes. We use the yellow for degreasing, red for haze removing and white for stencil removing, we had the matching CPS buckets too.

My mistake. I thought different colors were different bristles.
