FAQs

Can I use these brushes for acrylic paints?

While technically possible, these brushes are optimized for enamel and oil-based weathering products and may be more difficult to clean when using quick-drying acrylics.

How do I know when the brush needs cleaning?

Clean the brush immediately after the weathering fluid begins to build up at the ferrule or if the tips lose their crisp shape.

Are these brushes suitable for beginners?

Yes, they are excellent for beginners looking to improve their weathering skills, as the shape takes much of the guesswork out of creating realistic vertical effects.

Can I use these with lacquer thinners?

It is not recommended to use harsh lacquer thinners, as they can damage the hair of the brushes and the handle varnish.

What is the best way to store them?

Store them in a brush wallet or a holder with the bristles facing up to prevent deformation.

Troubleshooting

Bristles becoming splayed or losing their point

Clean the brush thoroughly with mild soap and water, then reshape the bristles while damp and let it air dry in a vertical position.

Weathering fluid 'clumping' on the brush

Ensure the brush is fully dry before use and avoid overloading the bristles with too much product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Requires specialized cleaning to prevent bristle damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your brushes, follow these guidelines:

  1. Compatibility: These brushes are fully compatible with enamel and oil-based weathering products, including Ammo by Mig washes and oil paints.
  2. Setup: Before first use, ensure the brush is clean and dry. Avoid using aggressive thinners that may degrade the brush adhesive over time.
  3. Care and Cleaning: After use, clean the brushes using an appropriate brush cleaner or odorless enamel thinner. Avoid pressing the bristles hard into the bottom of a container, as this will splay the tip.
  4. Storage: Always store brushes upright or lying flat in a protective case to keep the bristles from deforming. Never leave a brush resting in solvent for an extended period.
