Troubleshooting
Bristles losing shape or splaying

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, it is recommended to dampen the brush slightly before first use if working with water-based paints. Compatibility extends across most modern paints and stains. Proper care is vital: clean the brush immediately after use using warm, soapy water. Gently comb the filaments to remove any remaining paint residue before reshaping the head and allowing it to air dry hanging down or lying flat. Avoid leaving the brush submerged in water for long periods, as this can degrade the FSC certified wooden handle over time.
