FAQs

What type of paint is this brush best suited for?

This brush is specifically designed for water-based paints, including emulsions (matt, silk, eggshell), gloss, and satin finishes. It also works well with water-based woodstains and varnishes.

Can I use this brush with oil-based paints?

While it might be possible in some limited applications, the synthetic Shard Filaments are optimized for water-based paints. For best results and longevity, it is recommended to use this brush primarily with water-based formulations.

How do I clean the brush after use?

Clean immediately after use with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is gone. For tougher residues, a dedicated water-based paint brush cleaner can be used.

How long will the brush maintain its shape?

The Form Recovery Technology is designed to help the bristles maintain their shape after washing and during storage. Proper cleaning and drying techniques will further extend the brush's lifespan and shape retention.

What is the purpose of the seamless ferrule?

The seamless ferrule prevents paint or wash water from collecting inside the brush. This stops the paint from drying and becoming difficult to clean, and it prevents watery streaks from appearing on your work on the next use.

Is this brush suitable for small or large painting jobs?

The 1.5" (38mm) size is ideal for detailed work like architraves, skirting boards, window frames, and furniture. For larger wall areas, a wider brush (e.g., 2" or 3") from the same range might be more efficient.

What does the "Performance Guaranteed or Your Money Back" mean?

ProDec offers a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the performance of the brush, you can refer to the details on their website (www.prodec.uk.com/mbg) for information on how to claim a refund.

Troubleshooting

Brush is leaving too many streaks.

Ensure you are using the brush with compatible water-based paints. Apply paint with smooth, even strokes. Try loading less paint onto the brush or using a slightly lighter touch. Clean the brush thoroughly after use.

Paint is not releasing smoothly from the bristles.

Check that the brush is clean. If it's dry or has hardened paint, soak the bristles in warm water and gently work the paint out. Ensure you are using the brush with water-based products.

Bristles are splayed or misshapen after washing.

Gently reshape the bristles with your fingers while wet. Store the brush hanging or bristle-end-up to dry. The Form Recovery Technology should help it return to shape over time, but proper drying and storage are key.

Paint is collecting in the ferrule.

This is less common with the seamless ferrule design. Ensure you are not overloading the brush with paint. If paint has entered, clean immediately with warm water and a brush cleaner, then rinse thoroughly.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This brush requires no specific setup beyond ensuring it is clean before first use. It is ready to apply paint directly from its packaging.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal For: Water-based paints (emulsions like matt, silk, eggshell), gloss, satin, woodstains, and varnishes.
  • Not Recommended For: Heavy-bodied oil-based paints or aggressive solvents, as synthetic bristles are optimized for water-based formulations.

Care:

  1. Clean Immediately: After each use, clean the brush thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. For water-based paints, this is typically sufficient.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all paint residue is removed from the bristles and ferrule.
  3. Reshape Bristles: Gently reshape the bristles to their original form with your fingers.
  4. Dry Properly: Store the brush hanging or bristle-end-up to allow excess water to drain away. Avoid storing it flat where bristles can splay.
  5. Storage: Keep in a clean, dry place. The Form Recovery Technology will help maintain shape during storage.
