Product Information
Full details
The Harris Seriously Good Masonry Paint Brush is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable tool for painting rough or textured surfaces like brick, concrete, and stone. Its primary strength lies in its high-quality, no-loss bristles that maintain a smooth finish while eliminating the frustration of loose hair in your coat of paint. While this brush excels at masonry projects, users should keep in mind that its 50mm width is specifically optimized for precision and smaller-to-medium areas rather than large-scale wall coverage.

FAQs
Can I use this brush on smooth interior walls?
While intended for masonry, the high-quality bristles are soft enough to provide a smooth finish on interior walls, though a wider brush might be more efficient for large, flat surfaces.
How do I store the brush long-term?
Store the brush hanging by its hole to prevent the bristles from bending, or keep it inside its original packaging to protect the bristle shape.
Is this brush suitable for painting fences?
Yes, it works well for smaller wooden sections or detail work, but for large fence panels, a larger block brush would be faster.
Will the bristles fall out during use?
No, this brush features no-loss technology specifically designed to keep bristles firmly attached even when used against rough surfaces.
What is the best way to clean thick masonry paint from the brush?
Use warm, soapy water and a brush comb to work through the bristles from the base to the tip until the water runs clear.
Troubleshooting
Bristles feel stiff after cleaning
Ensure you have removed all paint residue. If the paint has dried, use a gentle wire brush to comb out the bristles or soak in warm soapy water.
Visible brush marks in the finish
Apply less pressure and ensure the brush is fully loaded with paint. Masonry paints are thick; overlapping your strokes slightly will help smooth out the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No special preparation is required before your first use. It is recommended to flick the bristles once or twice to remove any manufacturing dust.
Compatibility: This brush is compatible with all standard masonry paints, water-based emulsions, and solvent-based coatings. Ensure you rinse the brush thoroughly in the appropriate solvent if switching between different paint types.
Care: To prolong the life of the brush, clean it immediately after use. If using water-based paint, warm soapy water is sufficient. For oil-based paints, use the correct cleaning agent as recommended by your paint manufacturer. Always hang the brush by its handle to dry so the bristles retain their shape.
