And where do I get brushes for cheap, to be used just one time?

You can buy epoxy brushes in bulk to save a bit

This is a box of 144 brushes for 19.99 which is about 14 cents each. They have gone up a lot. My box was either 13.99 or 14.99 a couple of years ago.

The six-pack for 1.29 comes out to over 21 cents each.

If you have a plumbing or welding supply company in your area, flux brushes are the same thing.

I use the cheap children's artist brushes that come with watercolors. They have plastic handles, and plastic bristles. I got 500 of them for $3.99 at Hobby lobby in the childrens craft area.
My current brush supply will probably last a few years. I will not remember this post when I need more.
