Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
No specific setup is required. The brushes are ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
These brushes are suitable for use with:
- Emulsion paints
- Varnish
- Oil-based paints (check paint manufacturer recommendations for best synthetic brush compatibility)
Care:
To ensure longevity and optimal performance, clean the brushes immediately after each use:
- Water-Based Paints (Emulsion): Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all paint is removed. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Oil-Based Paints/Varnish: Use a suitable solvent (e.g., white spirit or turpentine) to clean the bristles. Work the solvent through the bristles until the paint is dissolved, then rinse thoroughly with soap and water.
- Drying: Shake off excess liquid and reshape the bristles. Allow brushes to air dry completely, preferably hanging them bristles-down or laying them flat, away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Keep them in their original packaging or a brush holder to maintain bristle shape.
