The set includes brushes with widths of 25mm, 38mm, 50mm, 64mm, and 75mm.
Are these brushes suitable for fine detail work?
While versatile, these brushes are primarily designed for general decorating tasks. For extremely fine detail work, smaller, more specialized brushes might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the brushes after use?
For water-based paints, use warm soapy water. For oil-based paints, use mineral spirits or turpentine, followed by soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and reshape bristles before drying.
Can I use these brushes for applying primer?
Yes, the larger brushes in the set are well-suited for applying primers and undercoats to various surfaces.
Will the plastic handles affect my grip?
The plastic handles are designed for a comfortable grip and good control, intended to reduce fatigue during use.
Troubleshooting
Paint not applying smoothly, leaving streaks.
Ensure bristles are adequately loaded with paint and maintain a consistent, even stroke. Clean the brush if hardened paint has accumulated.
Bristles shedding during painting.
This can occasionally happen with new brushes. Gently pull out any loose bristles before starting. Ensure the brush is cleaned properly after each use.
Brush feels stiff or unusable after cleaning.
Ensure all paint residue has been removed. For oil-based paints, make sure to use the correct solvent and follow up with soap and water. Re-shape bristles and allow to dry properly.
