FAQs
What types of paint can I use with the Purdy XL-CUB brush?
This brush is designed for use with all types of paints and stains, including latex, oil-based, and water-based formulations.
Is this brush suitable for large wall areas?
The XL-CUB is best suited for detailed work, trim, and smaller areas due to its 2-inch size and short handle. For larger areas, a wider brush or roller would be more efficient.
How do I properly clean the brush?
Remove excess paint, then rinse with the appropriate solvent (water for latex, mineral spirits for oil-based). Purdy Brush and Roller Cleaner can also be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and reshape bristles before air drying.
What makes the short handle beneficial?
The short, lightweight handle provides enhanced control and allows you to work closer to the painting surface, which is ideal for intricate details and tight spaces.
Can this brush be used for both interior and exterior projects?
Yes, the durable Tynex® and Orel® filaments are suitable for both interior and exterior applications with all paint and stain types.
What is the benefit of the angular tip?
The angled tip is specifically designed for precision, making it perfect for cutting in edges, painting corners, and other detailed tasks where accuracy is crucial.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or misshapen after cleaning.
Gently reshape the bristles with your fingers while wet. Ensure the brush is fully dry before storing. Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning.
Uneven paint application or visible brush strokes.
Ensure the brush is properly loaded with paint. Apply paint with light, consistent pressure. Clean the brush thoroughly; residual paint or debris can cause unevenness.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Confirm the brush is compatible with the paint type (though this brush is versatile). Ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean. Check paint consistency; excessively thick paint may require thinning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This brush requires no specific setup beyond ensuring it is clean before use. Remove any dust or loose fibers by gently flicking the bristles or rinsing with water.
Compatibility: The Purdy XL-CUB is compatible with all types of paints and stains, including latex, oil-based, and water-based formulations. Its synthetic filament blend is robust enough for various coating types.
Care: To maintain the brush's performance, clean it thoroughly after each use. Remove excess paint by working it against the edge of the paint can or a scraper. Rinse the brush using the Purdy Brush and Roller Cleaner or a suitable solvent for the paint type used. Rinse again with clean water until all paint residue is removed. Gently reshape the bristles and allow the brush to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, preferably hanging bristles-down. Store flat or in its original packaging to protect the bristles.
