Draper Ceiling-Paste Brush - 150mm

The term 'ceiling-paste' refers to its suitability for the tasks typically involved in ceiling work, such as applying wallpaper paste or sizing. Its broad width and high paste-holding capacity are key features for these jobs.

Yes, while optimized for paste, its broad coverage and paste-loading capabilities make it suitable for applying primer or paint on large wall areas where a quick, even coat is desired.

Clean the brush thoroughly after use. Vapour box storage is recommended to keep the filaments pliable and prevent them from drying out or deforming. If a vapour box is not available, store it flat or hanging with the bristles pointing upwards in a cool, dry place.

Mixed synthetic filaments are designed to achieve a balance between holding a large amount of paste (high loading) and releasing it smoothly and evenly onto the surface.

Due to its 150mm width and filament design for high loading, this brush is generally not ideal for very fine detail work. A smaller, finer-tipped brush would be more appropriate for such tasks.

The brush should be cleaned thoroughly after each use to maintain its performance and longevity. Leaving paste or paint to dry on the filaments can damage them.

Ensure the brush is properly cleaned and all residue is removed. Excessive shedding might indicate the brush has reached the end of its service life or was subjected to harsh treatment.

Check for dried paste or paint clogs within the filaments. Ensure the brush is being loaded evenly and that the surface is being brushed with consistent pressure.

This often occurs if the brush was not cleaned thoroughly or was left to dry with paste on it. Re-clean the brush with appropriate solvents/detergents and warm water. Ensure proper drying and storage in a vapour box if possible.
