Full details

FAQs
Is this safe for synthetic and natural bristle brushes?
Yes, the Supadec Brush Restorer is formulated to work with both synthetic and natural hair bristles without damaging the filaments.
Can I reuse the liquid after soaking one brush?
You can reuse the liquid for multiple brushes as long as it has not become too heavily saturated with paint debris. Once it looks very dark and thick, it is time to replace it.
Do I need to dilute the restorer with water?
No, this is a ready-to-use formula and should be used at full strength for maximum effectiveness.
Will this work on brushes with dried emulsion paint?
Yes, it works effectively on emulsion, but please be aware that it will require a longer soaking period compared to oil-based paints.
How should I dispose of the used restorer?
Do not pour the solution down the drain. Follow your local authority's guidelines for disposing of chemical solvents and paint-related waste.
Troubleshooting
The paint is not softening after the recommended time.
The brush may have heavy buildup. Leave the brush submerged for an additional 2-4 hours and use a wire comb to manually work the paint out of the bristles.
The brush bristles appear bent after the restoration process.
Ensure the brush is stored vertically or hung after cleaning. Use a brush keeper or wrap the bristles in heavy paper to help them regain their original shape while drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your cleaning station, pour a sufficient amount of the restorer into a narrow vessel to minimize waste. Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area, as the chemical properties are designed to dissolve organic binders in paint. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly secured when not in use. After treatment, ensure the brush is thoroughly rinsed; failing to remove the restorer residue can affect the performance of your paint during your next project. It is recommended to wear protective gloves during the handling of both the restorer and the softened paint waste.
