Product Information
Full details
The Hamilton Long Reach Brush is designed for decorators seeking to achieve a professional finish in challenging, hard-to-reach areas. Its primary benefit is enabling effortless painting behind radiators and above door frames with its extended handle, reducing the need for awkward stretching or scaffolding. A potential caveat is that its specialized design might be less intuitive for very fine detail work on flat, open surfaces compared to a standard brush. This versatile brush features a comfortable 350mm wooden handle, a rust-resistant stainless steel ferrule, and durable synthetic bristles for excellent paint pick-up and lay-off, aiming to minimize tramlines and ensure a smooth finish.

FAQs
What makes this brush 'long reach'?
The brush features an extended 350mm wooden handle, designed to give you greater reach for painting in difficult areas such as behind radiators, above door frames, or on high ceilings without excessive stretching.
Can I use this brush with any type of paint?
Yes, the Hamilton Long Reach Brush is compatible with all types of paint, including water-based emulsions, oil-based glosses, and varnishes.
How do I clean the brush after use?
For water-based paints, clean with water. For oil-based paints, use mineral spirits or white spirit. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before allowing to dry.
Will this brush help me achieve a smooth finish?
Yes, the brush is designed with durable synthetic bristles and a specific construction aimed at reducing tramlines and providing a smooth, seamless finish.
Is the handle comfortable for extended use?
The handle is made of wood and is 350mm long, offering a comfortable grip and balanced feel that helps reduce fatigue during longer painting sessions.
What is the benefit of the stainless steel ferrule?
The stainless steel ferrule is rust-resistant, ensuring durability and preventing any rust from transferring onto your painted surfaces, which helps maintain a clean finish.
Can I store this brush in a vapour box?
Yes, this brush is vapour box friendly, allowing for convenient and effective storage to protect the bristles when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Brush leaving excessive tramlines or uneven finish
Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint. Apply paint with a smooth, consistent pressure. Clean the brush thoroughly after use to maintain bristle flexibility. Consider if the paint type is optimized for brush application.
Bristles splaying or losing shape
Avoid over-soaking the ferrule in paint or cleaner. Reshape bristles immediately after cleaning and allow to dry properly. Store the brush correctly (bristles up or hanging) to maintain its form.
Paint not adhering well or poor coverage
Check that the brush is compatible with the paint being used. Ensure the bristles are clean and free from old paint residue. Apply paint evenly and in the correct thickness for the surface and paint type.
Rust marks appearing on painted surface
This indicates the ferrule may be damaged or exposed to prolonged moisture. Ensure the ferrule is kept dry and clean. If rust is present, the brush may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hamilton Long Reach Brush requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging. For initial use, particularly with new bristles, it's recommended to gently flick the bristles to remove any loose fibers that may have occurred during transit.
Compatibility: This brush is compatible with all types of paint, including water-based, oil-based, emulsions, glosses, and varnishes. Its synthetic bristles are resilient and designed to work effectively across different paint formulations.
Care: To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning Immediately After Use: Remove excess paint by wiping the bristles against the edge of the paint container. Then, wash the bristles thoroughly with appropriate cleaner (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits or white spirit for oil-based paints). Work the cleaner into the bristles and rinse thoroughly.
- Reshape Bristles: Gently reshape the bristles to their original form while wet.
- Drying: Store the brush bristles-up or hang it to dry. Avoid leaving it to dry flat, as this can deform the bristles.
- Storage: Once completely dry, store the brush in a clean, dry place. It is vapour box friendly, allowing for convenient storage that protects the bristles.
