Thank you all so much for your help here!
I ended up using the "Paperclay". Molding it to the brush and making finger prints for my grip. I then put a coat of Liquitex varish on them, but have not done a turpenoid test yet.
They clay does dry light, and did not need to be heated for hardening. I applied it to the brushes with smaller handles.
These are the brushes that I inserted into a florist green block to keep up straight while the varish dried.
