While synthetic filaments are primarily optimized for water-based paints, they can be used with oil-based paints, provided you clean them thoroughly with the correct solvent immediately after use.
Store them hanging by their handles or in their original packaging to keep the bristles straight and protected from debris.
The handles are plastic and water-resistant, making them durable for cleaning, but they should not be submerged in heavy chemicals.
The round sash brushes (15mm, 18mm, 21mm) are specifically designed for corners and cutting-in tasks.
Maintain a 'wet edge' by working across the surface efficiently, and avoid over-brushing the paint as it begins to tack up.
Ensure you are not over-loading the brush. Use a 'laying off' technique where you lightly brush over the wet paint in one direction to smooth it out.
This is often due to dried paint deep in the bristles. Soak in a mild soapy solution and use a brush comb to gently remove dried paint residue.
This happens when brushes are stored resting on the bristles. Store them hanging by their handle holes or replace them in a protective sleeve.
Before using your brushes for the first time, gently flick the bristles to remove any loose filaments that may have accumulated during packaging. For best results, dampen the bristles slightly with water before dipping into water-based paints to prevent the paint from soaking too deep into the heel of the brush. After use, wash the brushes immediately using warm soapy water. Never leave the brushes resting on their bristles in a container of water, as this will deform them. Always hang the brushes to dry, ensuring the bristles remain straight and free from pressure.
