Full details
This 6-inch extra-wide wallpaper paste brush from ProDec is designed for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts needing to apply paste quickly and efficiently.

FAQs
What types of wallpaper can I use this brush with?
This brush is suitable for all types of wallpaper, including paper, vinyl, lining paper, Anaglypta, and woodchip. It can also be used for applying paste directly to the wall.
How do I clean the brush after use?
Rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water immediately after use, ensuring all paste residue is removed from the bristles. Allow it to air dry completely, preferably hanging.
Is this brush suitable for small jobs?
While primarily designed for efficiency on larger areas, it can be used for smaller jobs, but might require more care to avoid over-application or mess compared to a smaller brush.
What is the advantage of the mixed bristle?
The mix of synthetic and pure bristle provides a balance of durability for frequent use and flexibility for smooth, even paste application.
Can I use this brush with different types of paste?
Yes, it is designed to work effectively with all types of wallpaper pastes, whether pre-mixed or powder-based.
How does the wide brush help with application speed?
The 6-inch width allows for covering a larger area of wallpaper or wall with each stroke, significantly reducing the time needed for pasting compared to narrower brushes.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or uneven after use.
Ensure the brush is thoroughly cleaned and dried properly. Storing it hanging by the handle can help maintain bristle shape.
Paste is not being applied evenly.
Check that the paste is not too dry or too thick. Ensure the bristles are clean and flexible. For very thick pastes, a second light coat might be needed after initial application.
Brush feels stiff or rough.
This usually indicates residual dried paste. Re-wash the brush thoroughly with warm water, working the bristles gently. You may need to soak it briefly in warm water if paste has hardened.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently covers large surfaces quickly due to its width.
- Durable construction suitable for trade use.
- Comfortable handle minimizes user fatigue.
- Versatile for various wallpaper types and wall surfaces.
Cons
- May be unwieldy for small or detailed areas.
- Requires thorough cleaning to maintain bristle performance.
- The wide brush might apply too much paste on delicate papers if not handled carefully.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This brush requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you have your wallpaper paste prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions before use.
Compatibility: Suitable for applying all types of wallpaper paste to paper, vinyl, lining paper, Anaglypta, woodchip, and directly to walls. It is designed to work with both pre-mixed and powder-based adhesives.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Immediately After Use: Wash the brush thoroughly with warm water to remove all paste residue. Gently work the bristles to loosen any remaining paste.
- Drying: Shake off excess water and allow the brush to air dry completely, ideally hanging it by the integrated hole to maintain bristle shape and prevent the wooden handle (if applicable) from absorbing moisture.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing with the bristles pressed against a surface.
Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent paste from hardening in the bristles, which can affect its performance and lifespan.
