FAQs
Can I use these for oil-based paints?
These brushes are specifically designed for water-based gloss and emulsion paints. They may not perform optimally with oil-based products.
How do I store the brushes?
Store them in a dry area. Ideally, hang them by their handles to maintain the shape of the bristles.
Are these brushes suitable for exterior paint?
Yes, as long as the exterior paint is water-based, these brushes will work effectively.
What is the best way to prevent shedding?
Gently pull through the bristles before the first use to remove any loose ones, and avoid using excess force while painting.
Can I use these with lacquer or varnish?
Since lacquers are often solvent-based, it is recommended to use brushes specifically labeled for those media to avoid damage to the synthetic fibers.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks in paint
Apply thinner layers of paint and ensure you are not over-working the area; if the paint is drying too fast, add a small amount of water if the manufacturer allows.
Bristles are stiff after cleaning
Ensure all dried paint residue is removed from the base of the bristles near the ferrule, as buildup here causes stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dekton Paintbrush Set, rinse the bristles under warm water before the first use to remove any loose factory dust. After painting with water-based products, clean the brushes immediately with warm soapy water until the water runs clear. Gently reshape the bristles after washing and hang them by the handle hole to dry, which prevents the bristles from bending or distorting. Avoid leaving the brushes sitting in a water container for extended periods, as this can damage the ferrule and handle.
