Product Information
Full details
The Lick Pro 1-inch flat paint brush is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who prioritize precision and a high-quality finish in their painting projects. Its primary benefit is the SRT bristle technology, which ensures superior paint retention and a smooth application on detailed areas. However, because it is a 1-inch brush, it is specifically intended for cutting-in or small surface work and is not suitable for covering large wall areas efficiently.

FAQs
Can I use this brush with oil-based paints?
Yes, the Lick Pro brush is compatible with all paint types, including oil-based gloss and solvent-based finishes.
How should I store the brush between uses?
Clean the brush thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and store it in its original packaging or hang it vertically in a dry area.
Is the brush handle made of real wood?
The Lick Pro range uses high-quality, sustainable materials including recycled components to meet carbon-neutral standards.
Why is the brush head tipped and flagged?
Tipping and flagging the bristles creates split ends that hold more paint and ensure a smoother release, leading to a superior finish.
Is this brush suitable for large wall areas?
No, the 1-inch width is optimized for detail work and cutting-in; a wider 3-inch or 4-inch brush is recommended for large, flat wall surfaces.
What does carbon neutral certification mean for this tool?
It means the carbon emissions generated during the manufacturing and shipping of this product have been measured and offset through certified climate projects.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are shedding during application
Before use, firmly flick the bristles against your hand or a clean surface to remove any loose filaments left over from the production process.
Paint is streaking or leaving heavy marks
Ensure the brush is not overloaded with paint and try a lighter touch. If using water-based paint, a very light mist of water on the bristles can improve flow.
Bristles have become stiff after cleaning
Ensure all residual paint was removed from the base of the bristles near the ferrule. Use a brush comb to gently tease out any dried paint and condition the bristles.
Pros and Cons

- Ergonomic handle improves control for fine detail work

- Professional-grade materials may cost more than entry-level brushes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, gently fan the bristles to remove any loose material from the manufacturing process. The brush is compatible with all standard interior and exterior paints. For optimal care, clean the brush immediately after use; water-based paints can be washed out with warm soapy water, while solvent-based paints require an appropriate brush cleaner or white spirit. Always reshape the bristles while damp and store the brush lying flat or hanging vertically to prevent bristle deformation. Avoid leaving the brush soaking in water or solvent for extended periods, as this can damage the ferrule and handle integrity.
