Tamiya Pro II Pointed Brush Small - Tamiya - 87175

"Kolinsky Sable" is a type of weasel hair known for its exceptional spring, fine point, and ability to hold a significant amount of paint. This makes it ideal for detailed artistic work.

While its precision is beneficial, beginners might find it easier to start with slightly larger brushes for general painting. However, for beginners focusing on detailed work from the start, it is suitable if handled with care.

Yes, this brush is compatible with oil paints, but it is crucial to clean it thoroughly with a solvent-specific for oil paints immediately after use.

It's recommended to use brush care products periodically, especially if you notice the bristles becoming dry or losing their flexibility. Regular proper cleaning is the most important factor.

The brush weighs approximately 0.01 pounds.

While it can be used for fine washes in small areas, its primary strength lies in detail work. For larger wash areas, a brush with a larger head would be more efficient.

Ensure the brush is cleaned thoroughly after each use. Reshape the bristles gently while wet and allow to dry properly. Avoid excessive pressure during painting.

Check if the paint is thinned appropriately for the brush. Ensure the bristles are not clogged with dried paint. Rinse and re-clean if necessary.

This can happen if paint has dried in the bristles. Soak the tip in a brush cleaner or lukewarm water and gently work the paint out. Use a dedicated brush conditioner if the issue persists.
