    Foam brushes. $0.67 from Wynnton Hardware. Closed cell. Yes I mixed the whole batch at once and have not had any problems so far. I paint for a while, then mix with my cordless drill and paint mixing attachment. No problems. Easy painting, you just have to go quickly and keep wet edge on the brush.

    What kind of brushes are you using, Ron? Did you mix it ALL up at once?
    If so, how are you preventing hardening in the container?
