Previously I was using average quality B&Q brushes @ ~£2.50 and cleaning them afterwards with acetone but now I'm using EC 1" brushes @ ~£0.30 each and disposing them after a single use .  They are far cheaper than the cheapest B&Q brushes I could find.

I clean and re use my brushes, just be aware that the less expensive brushes tend to drop bristles quite quickly .

I tend to buy mixed packs from screwfix which are £2 for about 5 - they are oretty good at not dropping bristles.

My fingers are pretty sensitive to the uncured resin so I go with disposable brushes, its a lot less messy and reduces the risk of me getting dermatitis.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys, it seems some of you reuse whereas others dispose.

On the bright side I am content with the fact that I'm not the only one using disposables.

I buy a bulk pack, they end up costing about 16p each. I tend to reuse them, not because of cost but for environmental reasons. I keep a tin with brush cleaner with about 10 brushes in it, then pick one when I need one. The only time I use a new brush is when gel coating.

I do exactly the same ..
