Product Information
Full details
The Hillbrush Premier Paint Brush (100mm) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable tool for covering broad, flat surfaces efficiently. Its key benefit is the high-quality bristle construction that ensures a smooth, consistent finish during painting or varnishing projects; however, users should note that the large 100mm size makes it less suitable for intricate trim work or tight corners.

FAQs
Is this brush suitable for oil-based paints?
Yes, the Hillbrush Premier Paint Brush is designed to be compatible with both water-based and oil-based coatings.
Can I use this for cutting in corners?
While you can use the edge, the 100mm size is quite large. For precise corners, a smaller 25mm to 50mm brush is recommended.
How should I store the brush?
Always hang the brush by its handle after cleaning and drying to prevent the bristles from bending out of shape.
Is the handle comfortable for long jobs?
The handle is designed for general-purpose use, offering a balanced feel, though users with very small hands may find the 100mm head slightly heavy over long periods.
How do I know when to replace the brush?
Replace the brush if the bristles become permanently splayed, hard with dried paint that cannot be cleaned, or if significant shedding occurs.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks appear on the surface
Reduce the pressure applied to the brush and ensure you are keeping a wet edge while painting.
Bristles falling out during use
Ensure the brush was properly 'broken in' by pulling gently on the bristles before first use to remove loose filaments.
Brush feels stiff or heavy with dried paint
Soak the brush in a suitable brush cleaner or warm soapy water for 30 minutes, then use a wire brush comb to gently remove dried debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, gently comb the bristles to remove any loose hair from the manufacturing process. The brush is compatible with both oil-based and water-based coatings. For care, it is essential to clean the brush immediately after use. For water-based paints, use warm soapy water; for oil-based paints, use an appropriate solvent. Once cleaned, rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze out excess moisture, and hang the brush to dry to ensure the bristles retain their natural shape for the next project.
