FAQs

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes Chisel Blenders in sizes 8, 10, and 12, and Dome Blenders in sizes 10 and 12.

Can I use these brushes with any type of paint?

These brushes are suitable for most craft paints, including acrylics and DecoArt's Psychedelic paints. A light touch may be needed for certain paint types on specific surfaces.

Do I need a primer for these brushes?

A primer is generally not required for most surfaces when using standard paints. However, for slick surfaces or when using specialized paints like Psychedelic paints, a primer might enhance adhesion and performance.

How do I clean the brushes?

Clean brushes immediately after use with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before allowing them to air dry upright.

What is the benefit of the double-crimped ferrule?

The double-crimped ferrule provides increased durability and ensures the bristles remain securely attached to the handle, preventing shedding during use.

Are these brushes suitable for beginners?

Yes, the set offers a good variety of shapes and sizes that can be helpful for beginners learning different application techniques.

Troubleshooting

Bristles splaying out

Ensure brushes are cleaned thoroughly and reshaped while wet. Store them with bristles facing upwards to dry and maintain shape.

Paint not adhering well to slick surfaces

Use a lighter touch or apply a suitable primer/sealer to the surface before painting. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.

Ferrules loosening

Ensure the ferrule is not submerged in water for extended periods. Clean and dry the ferrule area after use.

Compatibility: This set is designed to work with a wide range of paints, including DecoArt's Psychedelic paints.
