FAQs
What type of paint is best for these brushes?
These brushes are designed for versatility and work well with all types of paints and stains, including emulsion, gloss, varnish, latex, acrylic, gesso, and primer.
How do I clean the brushes after using oil-based paint?
After use with oil-based products, clean the bristles with a suitable solvent like mineral spirits or turpentine. Once the paint is removed, rinse with water and mild soap, then allow to air dry.
Can these brushes be used for fine detail work?
While the 4-inch width is ideal for covering larger areas, careful technique can be used for moderately detailed sections. For extremely intricate work, a smaller, more specialized brush might be more suitable.
How many brushes are included in this pack?
This pack contains 6 brushes, each with a 4-inch (100mm) width.
What makes the handles 'non-slip'?
The handles are designed with a textured or contoured surface that provides an enhanced grip, preventing the brush from slipping during use, especially in damp conditions or when hands are sweaty.
How should I store the brushes to maintain their shape?
After cleaning and drying, store brushes flat or hanging with the bristles facing downwards. Avoid storing them upright in a container where the bristles are compressed, as this can cause them to splay.
Troubleshooting
Brush is leaving streaks
Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint. For oil-based paints, try thinning the paint slightly. For water-based paints, ensure you are using smooth, even strokes and avoid overloading the brush.
Bristles are splayed or misshapen
Clean the brush thoroughly and reshape the bristles while wet. Allow the brush to air dry completely in its original shape. Avoid storing brushes with the bristles pressed against a surface.
Paint is not being absorbed well
Check if the paint is too thick for the brush. Try thinning the paint slightly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the bristles are clean and free of dried paint.
Bristles are falling out
Gently fan out the bristles before first use to remove any loose fibers. Ensure proper cleaning and care after each use. If excessive shedding occurs, the brush may be damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These brushes are ready to use straight out of the packaging. For best results, it is recommended to fan out the bristles before the first use to remove any loose fibers.
Compatibility: The Magimate Bristle Paint Brushes are compatible with all common paint and stain types, including water-based (emulsion, latex, acrylic) and oil-based (gloss, varnish) formulations. They are also suitable for use with primers, gesso, and sealants.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance, clean brushes immediately after each use.
- Water-based paints: Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all paint residue is removed. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Oil-based paints/stains: Use a suitable solvent (like mineral spirits or turpentine) to clean the bristles. Work the solvent through the bristles until all paint is gone. Rinse with water and mild soap, then squeeze out excess water.
Allow brushes to air dry completely, preferably hanging them with the bristles facing down or laying them flat. Avoid storing them while wet. Store in a dry, clean place.
