Always wear safety glasses and gloves when using this brush. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling any particles.

How do I clean the brush?

After use, tap the brush against a hard surface to remove loose debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust.

Can I use this brush on wood?

While the brush is primarily designed for metal, it could be used carefully on wood to remove paint or prepare surfaces. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

How long will the bristles last?

The lifespan of the bristles depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Regular use on tough materials will cause them to wear down over time.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are bending or breaking.

Reduce pressure during use or replace the brush if the bristles are excessively worn.

Rust is not being removed effectively.

Apply more pressure and ensure the brush is making full contact with the surface. Consider using a rust remover in conjunction with the brush for stubborn areas.

Handle feels loose.

If the handle feels loose, discontinue use and inspect it to determine if it needs tightening or if it's defective. Replace if necessary.

Brush is leaving scratches.

Use less pressure and ensure you're brushing in the same direction of the grain, not against it.
