Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Before your first use, gently run your fingers over the bristles to remove any loose fibers that may have become dislodged during packaging and shipping. This step helps ensure a cleaner application from the start.
Compatibility:
These brushes are designed to work with a wide range of finishes, including:
- Oil-based chalk paints
- Water-based chalk paints
- Furniture waxes
- Stains
Care and Maintenance:
To maximize the lifespan of your brushes and maintain performance:
- After Each Use: Immediately wash the brushes with warm, soapy water. Gently work the bristles to remove all paint or wax residue.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap and product is rinsed out.
- Reshape Bristles: Gently reshape the bristles to their original form while damp.
- Dry Properly: Hang the brushes bristles-down to dry, or lay them flat. Avoid storing them bristles-up, as this can cause water to seep into the ferrule and damage the glue.
- Storage: Once completely dry, store the brushes in a dry place, preferably in a brush case or container to protect the bristles.
