A few weeks ago, I was cruising the isles of my local Masters Hardware and came across a bin full of cheap paint brushes.
From memory, I think they were around 50 cents.
Anyway, I ended up buying a few in different sizes, thinking they would be great to have in the garage for washing down mechanical parts with fuel, as well as other general duties.
Right, a few days ago, I am perservering Whiskey brushing my Salmon fillets with an older kitchen brush, that's basically falling apart.....
....... then, currents ran through my mind, and remembered the hardware brushes....
Things were going my way, and after inspection of the build, was happy to see that they will make a fine basting brush.
I hope they still have them, as I might grab some more, so replace those that my have gone walk about 
If you have a Masters near by, check their paint section as you might be lucky to score some of these too

 Ahead of you on that one mate, Bunnings have them off and on, have for years, just need to be sure they are bristle and well enough made to not go shedding, which they pretty much always are. I've been using them for any basic basting chores for years, the so-called basting brushes that the kitchen places sell are a bit of a joke by comparison. My younger bro is a painter and decorator, bit of an artist at it, a chore I avoid as much as possible, or con him into doing I was with him once getting some stuff and saw these so grabbed a few, which had him giving me strange looks until I explained - now he uses them for all his basting as well but apparently they are pretty damned awful paint brushes As an aside you seen how much a real painter and decorator pays for their brushes ? Geez.. no wonder he's good, uses THE best tools Cheers |

I use one of those cheap silicone brushes, Though I have also used one of those natural bristle cheapies from bunnings.
Thing I like about the silicone brush is that I can confidently clean it. Down side is it does not soak up as much baste as the tighter natural bristle. Therefore, I have to dip the brush just a little bit more.
