    Default dried acrylic stuck in nail brush

    I somehow got dried acrylic stuck in my nail brush, and I don't know how to get it out. This happened before and I tried soaking it in acetone, which made the brush brittle and the acrylic was still stuck. I read somewhere to soak it in the monomer for an hour, but that isn't working so far. Any ideas?

    Maybe try soaking just the bristles in acetone for a bit longer if not maybe acetone nail polish remover which is less harsh than pure acetone. The monomer might adhere to the polymer residue stuck in the brush.

    soak it in brush cleaner until it gets soft then scrape it off with a cuticle pusher. Just don't submerge it up to where the bristles and handle meet, it will also eat at the glue and your brush will shed like there's no tomorrow.
