FAQs
Are these brushes suitable for oil paints?
Yes, these brushes are constructed to be compatible with oil paints, though you should ensure you use the correct cleaning solvent for your specific oil medium.
What is the length range of the brushes in this set?
The set includes 12 brushes with varying lengths ranging from 280mm to 340mm.
Can these brushes be used for varnishing?
Their flat, wide profile makes them an excellent choice for applying clear coats or varnishes evenly across large surfaces.
How should I store the brushes?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Ideally, hang them with the bristles down or lay them flat to prevent moisture from damaging the wooden handle.
Are the handles waterproof?
The handles are robust wood, but they should not be submerged in water for long periods, as prolonged moisture exposure can lead to wood swelling or paint cracking.
Troubleshooting
Bristles appearing splayed or misshapen
Wash the brush thoroughly, reshape the bristles with your fingers, and allow it to dry hanging vertically or lying flat on a towel.
Paint build-up near the ferrule
Use a gentle brush soap and a soft-bristled brush comb to carefully work out dried paint from the base of the bristles.
Bristles shedding during use
Ensure that the brush is not being pressed too hard against the surface; verify that the cleaning solvent used is not dissolving the internal adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, it is recommended to gently fan the bristles to remove any factory-loose hair. These brushes are compatible with most standard acrylic, oil, and water-based paints. To maximize the lifespan of your TF109 brushes, clean them immediately after use using an appropriate solvent or mild soap and warm water depending on the medium used. Gently reshape the bristles while damp and store the brushes flat or hanging with the bristles facing downward to maintain their original shape. Avoid leaving the brushes sitting in a jar of water for extended periods, as this can damage the wooden handles and the glue binding the ferrule.
