A potential caveat for some users might be the fixed set of sizes, requiring users to adapt to the included options rather than selecting individual brushes.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splayed or misshapen after cleaning.

Reshape the bristles to their original form while damp. Store brushes upright or flat in a clean, dry place to maintain shape.

Paint is not applying smoothly.

Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint and that the paint itself is properly stirred. Check for any dried paint residue on the bristles.

Bristles are shedding during use.

While rare with SRT bristles, excessive shedding may indicate damage. Ensure the ferrule is secure and consider retiring the brush if shedding persists.
