Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. The brushes are ready for immediate use out of the package.
Compatibility: This set is compatible with a wide range of common decorating materials, including:
- Emulsion paints
- Gloss paints
- Varnishes
- Wallpaper paste
Care and Cleaning: To ensure longevity and maintain performance:
- Water-Based Paints (Emulsions, Pastes): Immediately after use, rinse the brush thoroughly under warm running water. Gently work the bristles to remove all paint or paste residue. Squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles.
- Oil-Based Paints (Gloss, Varnishes): Use the appropriate solvent (e.g., white spirit or mineral turpentine) to clean the brush. Work the solvent through the bristles until all paint is dissolved. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then mild soap. Squeeze out excess liquid and reshape.
- Storage: After cleaning and reshaping, store the brushes bristles-up in a container or hang them to dry completely. Avoid storing them flat or with the bristles compressed, as this can distort their shape.
