Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This brush is specifically designed for use with water-based paints, including emulsions (matt, silk, eggshell), gloss, satin, wood stains, and varnishes. Avoid using it with oil-based paints, as this may damage the filaments.
Preparation: Before use, lightly dampen the brush with water. This helps the filaments absorb the paint more evenly and prevents excessive paint loading.
Loading: Dip the brush about one-third into the paint. Tap off any excess paint against the side of the container. Avoid overloading the brush.
Application: Apply paint using smooth, even strokes. For cutting in, use the edge of the brush to create a clean line. Maintain a consistent pressure.
Cleaning: After use, thoroughly clean the brush with water and, if necessary, a mild brush cleaner. Rinse until the water runs clear. Reshape the brush and allow it to dry completely before storing.
Storage: Store the brush in its original packaging or wrapped in paper to protect the filaments. Avoid storing the brush on its bristles, which can distort the shape.
