Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or misshapen
Clean the brush thoroughly and reshape the bristles by hand. Allow to dry completely. Storing the brush correctly can prevent this.
Paint is not applying smoothly
Ensure you are using a compatible thinner paint. Check if the paint consistency is too thick for the brush's design. Clean the brush if it has dried paint residue.
Bristles are stiff after cleaning
Ensure you have used the correct cleaning solvent and rinsed thoroughly. For water-based paints, a mild soap and water solution can be effective. Avoid letting paint dry on the bristles.
