FAQs
What type of paint are these brushes best for?
These SupaDec polyester brushes are ideal for water-based paints such as emulsions, acrylics, and water-based varnishes or stains.
Can I use these brushes with oil-based paint?
While possible, it is not recommended. Polyester bristles are best suited for water-based products. Oil-based paints may perform better with natural bristle brushes.
How do I clean the brushes after use?
Clean immediately after use with warm water and soap. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before allowing them to dry completely.
What sizes are included in the 10-pack?
The pack contains 2 x 0.5in brushes, 3 x 1in brushes, 3 x 1.5in brushes, and 2 x 2in brushes.
Are these brushes suitable for professional use?
They are suitable for general professional use and DIY projects, offering good value and versatility. For highly specialized finishes, dedicated professional brushes might be preferred.
How long will it take to receive my order?
The product is usually dispatched within 3 working days, with delivery typically completed in 3-5 working days within the UK mainland from the dispatch date.
Troubleshooting
Bristles splaying or losing shape
Ensure brushes are thoroughly cleaned and properly dried after each use. Reshape the bristles while damp and store them hanging or flat.
Paint not applying smoothly
Check that the brush is adequately loaded with paint, but not overloaded. Ensure you are using the correct type of paint for polyester bristles (water-based). Try using smoother, more consistent strokes.
Excessive paint shedding
Before first use, gently run your fingers through the bristles to remove any loose fibers. Ensure thorough cleaning after use to prevent paint from hardening and causing shedding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. The brushes are ready for immediate use. Ensure they are clean before the first application.
Compatibility: These polyester brushes are primarily recommended for use with water-based paints, emulsions, acrylics, varnishes, and stains. They are generally not recommended for solvent-based or oil-based paints, as the bristles may not perform optimally or could be damaged.
Care:
- After Use: Immediately after painting, remove excess paint from the bristles.
- Cleaning: Wash thoroughly with warm water and soap or a suitable brush cleaner for water-based paints. Work the cleaner through the bristles until all paint residue is removed.
- Rinsing: Rinse with clean water until no suds remain.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Reshape the bristles and hang the brushes to dry or lay them flat. Avoid storing brushes while wet, as this can damage the bristles and the handle.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Hanging brushes is ideal to maintain bristle shape.
