Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hamilton Angled Cutting-In Paint Brush is ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure it is clean and free of any manufacturing dust before applying paint.
Compatibility: This brush is suitable for use with most types of paint, including latex, acrylic, and oil-based formulations. It is also compatible with vapour boxes for convenient cleaning and storage.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Water-Based Paints: Immediately after use, rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water. Work the water through the bristles to remove all paint. Soap or a dedicated brush cleaner can be used for stubborn residue.
- Oil-Based Paints: Use mineral spirits or turpentine to dissolve the paint. Work the solvent through the bristles and rinse thoroughly. Follow up with warm water and soap.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water or solvent. Reshape the bristles to their original form and allow the brush to air dry completely. Avoid storing the brush while wet.
- Storage: Once dry, store the brush bristle-up or in a bristle protector to maintain the shape of the bristles. The brush is compatible with vapour boxes for extended storage periods, keeping bristles soft and pliable.
