Quick Question about waxing brushes

So this season I got a new Swix oval bronze brush with nylon bristles surrounding the outermost row, and I was wondering how you guys clean yours when it get mucked up with a bunch of wax. Currently I've been smacking it on a brick wall and running a scraper along it to flick the wax particles off but I think this could mess up the bronze bristles. Thanks for any advice.

yeahhh....just scrape...buffing brushes are just to make the base pretty and shiny for customers who get their skis waxed at shops

I use a nylon one, but It really isn't necessary. I think you can just sit it in some base cleaner, because that dissolves the wax, I'm pretty sure. When i'm at home, I use the air compressor to blow out the wax and it works ok.

Ya I was thinking about putting it in base cleaner, but then I thought about putting base cleaner on brush, brush on skis, solvent residue on bases. Probably not a big deal, but I'll use an air compressor next time. Thanks!

Word. Base Cleaner on a freshly waxed base doesn't sound very logical to me.

How did you get that much wax in the first place. I guess just scrape more and make sure that you dont put the brissel part down on the table. put the side with the strap on the table
