Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Before first use, it's recommended to comb out any loose filaments. You can do this by running your fingers through the bristles or using a comb.
Compatibility:
This brush is designed for use with all types of paint, including:
- Water-based paints (emulsions, acrylics)
- Oil-based paints (alkyds, enamels, glosses)
- Varnishes and stains
Care and Maintenance:
Proper cleaning will prolong the life of your brush.
- Water-Based Paints: Clean immediately after use with warm water and soap. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear. Gently reshape the bristles and allow to air dry.
- Oil-Based Paints/Varnishes: Clean using the appropriate solvent (e.g., white spirit or mineral turpentine). Work the solvent through the bristles, then wash with soap and water. Reshape the bristles and allow to air dry.
Store the brush hanging or bristle-up to prevent damage to the filaments. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
