The next few months became a journey of experimentation. I tried various storage methods, different types of bags, and multiple sealing techniques and vacuum sealers.

There were plenty of failed attempts – brushes that dried out, seals that didn't hold, and variations that just didn't work. But with each failure came new insights and improvements.

The breakthrough came when I finally found the perfect combination of bag material and sealing technique. The first time I successfully preserved a brush over a week, still perfect and ready to use, I knew I had stumbled upon something revolutionary. Today, we know that you can vacuum seal your paintbrush for at least 6 months!

When I calculated the time saved – not just in cleaning but in setup and preparation – also removing the use of chemicals I realized this could change the way for more innovation in the painting industry.
