Faithfull Superflow Synthetic Paint Brush - 19mm (3/4in)

Synthetic bristles, like the 100% polyester tapered filaments in this brush, offer excellent durability, easier cleanup, and are less prone to bristle loss compared to natural bristles, especially when used with water-based paints.

Yes, while optimized for water-based paints, this brush is compatible with varnishes and lacquers. For very specific finishes with oil-based varnishes, a natural bristle brush might be preferred by some professionals, but this synthetic brush will perform adequately.

After cleaning and drying, store the brush hanging by the handle or lying flat. Avoid storing it bristles-down or in a way that permanently bends or flattens the bristles.

The 'Kaiser' style refers to a common, ergonomic design for paintbrush handles, often featuring a slightly flattened or contoured shape to provide a comfortable and secure grip for the user.

The 19mm (3/4 inch) size is best suited for medium-sized areas, detailed work, trim, and cutting-in. For very large walls or ceilings, a wider brush or roller would be more efficient.

With proper care and cleaning, this brush can last for many projects. Replace it when the bristles become significantly frayed, misshapen, or if bristle loss becomes a persistent issue.

Gently reshape the bristles by hand while damp and allow to dry in that shape. Store the brush hanging or flat, not with bristles compressed.

Ensure the brush was properly cleaned and dried after its last use. Check if the ferrule is securely crimped. If bristle loss persists, the brush may have reached the end of its effective lifespan.

Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint. Check if the bristles are clean and free of dried paint. For water-based paints, ensure the brush is not too dry; a slightly damp brush can sometimes improve flow.
