Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The brush is ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: This brush is compatible with both water-based and oil-based paints. Avoid using with harsh chemical strippers or solvents that are not paint-related, as these may damage the synthetic filaments.
Care:
- Water-Based Paints: Immediately after use, rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water. Work the water through the bristles to remove all paint. Squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles. Store flat or hanging bristles-up.
- Oil-Based Paints: Use the appropriate solvent (e.g., white spirit) to clean the brush. Work the solvent through the bristles until all paint is removed. Rinse with clean water, then a small amount of detergent and water. Squeeze out excess liquid and reshape the bristles. Store flat or hanging bristles-up.
Always ensure the brush is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain bristle integrity. Proper cleaning significantly extends the brush's lifespan and performance.
