FAQs

What type of products can I use with this brush?

This brush is ideal for applying most types of paint and woodcare products, including stains, varnishes, and sealants, specifically onto timber surfaces.

How do I clean the brush after using solvent-based paint?

Clean the brush immediately with the appropriate solvent (like white spirit), rinse thoroughly, then wash with soap and water. Comb out excess solvent and paint, and allow to air dry completely.

Can this brush be used for detailed work?

The 115mm width is generally suited for broader areas. For very fine detail work, a smaller brush might be more appropriate.

What are the dimensions of the brush?

The brush measures approximately 14.00cm x 21.00cm x 4.00cm.

What is the weight of the brush?

The brush weighs approximately 0.12kg.

How should I store the brush to maintain its shape?

Store the brush in a clean, dry place with the bristles facing upwards or lying flat to avoid compression and maintain bristle shape.

Is the handle made of wood or plastic?

The handle is made of ergonomic plastic for comfort and durability.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splayed or misshapen after use.

Ensure the brush was cleaned thoroughly and dried correctly. For minor splaying, try soaking the bristles in warm water with a little fabric softener, then comb and allow to dry properly.

Uneven paint application.

Check for dried paint buildup within the bristles. Ensure the paint is well-mixed and at the correct consistency. Apply even pressure and maintain a consistent stroke direction.

Bristles are falling out.

This can occur if the ferrule is damaged or if the brush is used aggressively on rough surfaces. Inspect the ferrule for rust or damage. Avoid excessive force during application and cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Silverline Block Brush is ready for immediate use. Ensure it is free from dust or debris before application.
