Product Information
Full details
This 6-piece set of Susan Bates paint brushes is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tackling home or commercial painting and staining projects. The key benefit is their ability to hold more paint for a smoother finish and save time. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are best suited for standard painting tasks rather than highly specialized fine art applications. This set includes three flat brushes (1", 1.5", 2") and three angled brushes (1.5", 2", 2.5"), featuring natural bristles for good paint pickup and lightweight wooden handles for comfort.

FAQs
What types of paint can I use with these brushes?
These brushes are suitable for both oil-based paints and latex stains. Always ensure your chosen paint or stain is properly mixed.
How do I clean the brushes after using latex paint?
Immediately after use, rinse the brushes thoroughly with warm water. Work the water through the bristles until all paint residue is removed. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles before drying.
How do I clean the brushes after using oil-based paint?
Use the appropriate solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer, such as mineral spirits. After removing most of the paint with the solvent, wash the brush with soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and reshape the bristles.
Can these brushes be reused?
Yes, these brushes are designed to be cleaned and reused multiple times, making them an economical choice for various projects.
What is the difference between the flat and angled brushes?
Flat brushes are best for broad, even coverage on larger surfaces like walls or panels. Angled brushes are ideal for cutting in edges, corners, and detail work, providing more control in tight spaces.
How should I store the brushes to maintain their shape?
After cleaning and drying, store brushes bristles-up in a container or hang them so the bristles are not compressed. Avoid storing them lying flat or with the bristles pressed against a surface.
Are these brushes suitable for fine detail work?
While versatile, these brushes are best suited for general painting and staining tasks. For extremely fine detail work, specialized fine art brushes might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or misshapen after use.
Reshape the bristles while the brush is still wet and allow it to dry completely in the reshaped position. Use a brush comb or your fingers gently. Ensure proper cleaning and drying methods are followed.
Excessive bristle shedding.
Ensure you have removed any loose bristles before first use. If shedding occurs during use, it might indicate the brush is old or was not cleaned properly. Try cleaning the brush thoroughly and consider replacing it for critical jobs.
Paint is not applying smoothly, leaving streaks.
Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint but not overloaded. Apply paint with consistent, even strokes. Check that the paint is properly mixed and at the correct consistency. Clean the brush if paint has dried within the bristles.
Brush is stiff and difficult to clean after painting.
Clean the brush immediately after finishing your painting session. If using oil-based paint, ensure the correct solvent is used and the brush is thoroughly rinsed. For latex paint, warm water and soap should be effective if used promptly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These brushes are ready to use straight out of the package. For best results, especially with new brushes, lightly flick the bristles to remove any loose ones before dipping into paint.
Compatibility: The Susan Bates paint brushes are designed for use with both oil-based paints and latex stains. Ensure the paint or stain is properly mixed according to its manufacturer's instructions before applying.
Care: To ensure longevity and reusability:
- Latex Paints: Immediately after use, rinse the brushes thoroughly with warm water. Work the water through the bristles until all paint residue is gone. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles.
- Oil-Based Paints: Use the appropriate solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer (e.g., mineral spirits or paint thinner) to clean the bristles. Wipe away as much paint as possible, then wash with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and reshape.
- Drying: Store brushes bristles-up in a jar or hang them bristles-down with the handles elevated. Avoid storing them flat, as this can damage the bristles. Ensure brushes are completely dry before storing long-term.
- Storage: Keep brushes in a clean, dry place. For long-term storage, consider covering the bristles with a protective sleeve or paper to maintain their shape.
