Troubleshooting

Bristles shedding during use.

Ensure the brush is clean from any paint buildup and that it is not being overly flexed. Try to use it with a suitable paint type.

Brush not picking up enough paint.

Check the paint viscosity; ensure you're using the right brush for the paint type and dip about one-third of the brush into the paint, gently tapping off the excess.

Brush strokes are visible after painting.

Ensure the brush is loaded properly, and use smooth, even strokes. If using oil-based paint, make sure the paint has the correct consistency.
