Compatibility:
The Hamilton For The Trade Angled Paint Brush is compatible with all types of paint, including:

Care:
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your brush.
- After Use: Immediately after painting, remove excess paint by wiping the bristles on the edge of the paint can or a disposable surface.
- Cleaning:
- For latex or water-based paints: Rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water and soap until all paint is removed. Squeeze out excess water.
- For oil-based paints or varnishes: Use a suitable solvent (mineral spirits or turpentine) to clean the bristles. Work the solvent through the bristles until all paint residue is gone. Rinse with soap and water.
- Reshaping: Gently reshape the bristles with your fingers to their original form.
- Drying: Store the brush bristles-up or hang it to dry. Avoid resting the brush on its bristles, as this can cause damage and loss of shape.
- Storage: Once completely dry, store the brush in a clean, dry place. Consider using a brush protector sleeve to maintain bristle alignment.
