Troubleshooting
Excessive shedding during use
Ensure the brush is fully dry before use. For initial uses, a light rinse can sometimes remove loose fibers. If shedding persists, check that the product being used is not overly aggressive for natural fibers.
Uneven paint/stain application
Ensure the brush is properly loaded with product. For thick products, try dipping only the lower half of the bristles. Ensure you are maintaining consistent pressure and stroke direction.
Brush stiffens after cleaning
If using solvents for cleaning, ensure all solvent residue is thoroughly rinsed out. For water-based paints, ensure the brush is completely dry before storing. Avoid using harsh detergents.
Product build-up in bristles
Clean the brush immediately after use according to the appropriate cleaning method (water-based or oil-based). Work the cleaning agent gently through the bristles to dislodge dried product.
