I'm painting my fence (with water based paint) and have more to do tomorrow.
How long can I leave the paint brush in water until it's likely to be damaged? I think it's a synthetic bristled one.
How long until the roller sleeve is likely to be damaged? It has polyester fibre on it.
What about other types of bristle/fibre?

The way I've done this is not using water, instead take the roller or brush and put in a big ziplock bag and stick in the fridge. yes it may look gross in there but it won't be a problem to return to continue painting. It won't be able to dry as much. Certainily it won't dry out. Seems like my wife left one in there for a couple days to return AND multiple times too.
