Troubleshooting
Bristles splaying after cleaning
Ensure bristles are gently reshaped with fingers before drying. Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning. Store brushes bristle-tip up or flat to maintain shape.
Paint not applying smoothly
Check if the brush is properly loaded with paint. Ensure the brush is clean and free from dried paint residue. Experiment with different paint consistencies.
Brush shedding filaments
This can occasionally happen with new brushes. Try gently flexing the bristles before use. If shedding persists after initial uses, contact customer support.
Difficulty cleaning pigment
For oil paints, use an appropriate odourless brush cleaner and allow it to work on dried paint before washing. For acrylics, clean immediately after use while the paint is still wet.
