ProDec Craftsman Trade Professional Mixed Bristle Paint Brush Set - 1.5, 2, 3 Inch

The synthetic bristles provide a smooth, precise finish and are great for initial application with water-based paints. The natural Chungking bristles are more durable, hold more paint, and as they wear and split with use, they become ideal for achieving a brush-mark-free finish with gloss and satin paints.

Yes, for the best results with gloss and satin paints, a short break-in period is recommended. This involves using the brush and cleaning it several times. As the natural bristles wear down, they split, which is key to a perfect finish.

This set includes three sizes: 1.5" (38mm), 2" (50mm), and 3" (75mm) paint brushes.

Yes, the hybrid bristle design makes them suitable for solvent-based paints like gloss, satin, woodstains, and varnishes.

Clean them thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry. Store them in a clean, dry place, ideally hanging them or using a bristle protector to maintain the shape of the bristles.

Yes, the fine tips of the synthetic bristles and the natural bristle's ability to lay off paint smoothly make them suitable for various surfaces, including those requiring a high-quality finish like furniture or trim.

Ensure you are cleaning the brush thoroughly after each use and storing it correctly. Avoid excessive pressure on the bristles during painting.

This can happen with new brushes, especially when first using them with gloss/satin paints. Continue using and cleaning; the natural bristles will develop split ends over time to improve the finish. Ensure the paint is well-stirred.

Although the ferrule is stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause minor surface discoloration. Ensure brushes are dried thoroughly after cleaning and stored in a dry environment.

Inspect the ferrule to ensure it is secure. If shedding is significant and persistent, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Ensure you are not using excessive force when cleaning.
