FAQs
What is the length of the handle?
The handle is 300mm (12 inches) long.
What is the width of the brush head?
The brush head is 25mm (1 inch) wide.
Can I use this brush with all types of paint?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with a wide range of paints, including water-based and oil-based formulations.
How do I clean the brush after use?
Clean the bristles immediately after use with water for water-based paints, or with appropriate solvents for oil-based paints. Rinse thoroughly and reshape.
Will the bristles fall out during painting?
No, this brush features a 'no bristle loss' design, ensuring a clean finish.
Is this brush suitable for large wall areas?
While it can be used on larger areas, its specialized angled head and long handle are most beneficial for hard-to-reach spots and detailed work.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or misshapen
Reshape the bristles while damp after cleaning. Store the brush flat or hanging with bristles up to maintain shape.
Paint is not applying smoothly
Ensure bristles are clean and free from dried paint. Check that the paint is adequately thinned if necessary. Ensure the brush is not overloaded with paint.
Brush is difficult to maneuver in very tight spaces
While designed for reach, extremely confined areas might still pose a challenge. Consider using a smaller detail brush or foam applicator for the absolute tightest spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This brush requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The Amtech Long Reach Angled Paint Brush is compatible with most common interior and exterior paints, including emulsion, latex, oil-based paints, and varnishes. Always check your specific paint's recommendations for brush suitability.
Care: After each use, clean the bristles thoroughly with the appropriate solvent for the paint used (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits or turpentine for oil-based paints). Rinse the bristles until all paint residue is removed. Shake out excess water or solvent, and reshape the bristles. Store the brush flat or with bristles pointing upwards to prevent distortion. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or excessively damp conditions.
