What kind of brush? Natural bristle, polyester or nylon? Was the polyacrylic water based or oil based? Mineral spirits is what I've used with success.

Sounds like a plan. With oil based varnish use natural bristle brush and mineral spirits or turp to clean. Hang dry and store in the envelope it came in. The cheap bristle brushes are less that worthless, they shed.

Once that stuff cures, it's pretty difficult to break it down. Like paint. So...
If all else fails and I really want to try to resurrect a brush...I try letting the bristle end sit in a little bowl of Strypeeze or some other paint remover, and then rinse it out with water. Several times, soak and rinse. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I thought china bristle was for oil based and Synthetic bristles for water based?
If Mineral spirits failed my guess is the brush is gone'r
