Full details

The Arroworthy Classic Round Sash Paint Brush (18mm) is designed for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts seeking precision and a flawless finish in detailed painting tasks.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the NYLYN technology?

NYLYN technology allows the filaments to pick up, hold, and release more paint, leading to better coverage and a more efficient painting process with fewer strokes.

Is this brush suitable for exterior painting?

Yes, the brush is designed for use on various surfaces and its durable construction makes it suitable for exterior applications. Ensure proper cleaning and storage afterward.

Can I use this brush with exterior house paints?

Yes, the brush is compatible with both water-based and oil-based paints, which are commonly used for exterior applications.

How does the round sash shape benefit my painting?

The round sash shape offers excellent maneuverability and control for detailed work, allowing for precise application around curves, edges, and intricate areas like trim and moldings.

What is the best way to clean the brush after using oil-based paint?

After use with oil-based paint, clean the brush with mineral spirits or turpentine until most of the paint is removed, then wash it thoroughly with soap and warm water, rinsing until clear.

How should I store the brush to maintain its shape?

Store the brush clean and dry, with the bristles reshaped to their original form. Hanging the brush or laying it flat is recommended. Avoid storing it upright on its bristles.

Is this brush best for large wall areas?

While it can be used on walls, the round sash shape is optimized for detailed work. For large, flat areas, a wider flat brush might be more efficient.

Troubleshooting

Brush is shedding bristles

Ensure you are cleaning the brush thoroughly after each use and storing it properly. For new brushes, a small amount of initial shedding can occur; rinse the brush well before use to remove loose filaments.

Uneven paint application or streaks

Check if the brush is overloaded with paint. Use a lighter touch and ensure even pressure. Clean the brush if paint has dried in the bristles. Ensure the paint is adequately stirred.

Brush feels stiff or bristles are splayed

This usually indicates improper cleaning or drying. Re-clean the brush thoroughly with the appropriate solvent/water and soap, then reshape and dry correctly. Avoid drying near direct heat.
