Hamilton Perfection CleanEdge Angled Brush - 35mm

Flagged tips are split into very fine strands, which increases the surface area of the bristles. This allows the brush to hold more paint and apply it more smoothly and evenly, reducing the appearance of brush marks.

Yes, the Hamilton Perfection CleanEdge Angled Brush is suitable for both water-based (like latex and acrylic) and solvent-based (oil-based) paints.

The brush is ready to use straight from the pack due to its flagged tips. You can optionally give it a quick rinse with water (if using water-based paints) or appropriate solvent (if using oil-based paints) and let it dry before your first use to remove any loose manufacturing particles.

For water-based paints, rinse with warm water and mild soap. For oil-based paints, use mineral spirits or the manufacturer's recommended solvent. Ensure all paint is removed and rinse thoroughly.

The angled design of the brush head provides better access and maneuverability for precise work, especially when painting corners, edges, and intricate areas where a straight brush might be awkward to handle.

With proper care and regular cleaning after each use, this brush can last for many projects. Storing it correctly to maintain the bristle shape is key to its longevity.

Ensure the brush is fully loaded with paint and that you are using an even, consistent stroke. Clean the brush thoroughly if there is dried paint buildup.

Gently reshape the bristles while wet and allow the brush to dry completely without heat. Store bristles pointing upwards or flat to maintain shape.

Check if the brush is too dry or if there is old, dried paint residue. Ensure the paint consistency is appropriate for the brush.

Ensure you are holding the brush at a comfortable angle and applying light to moderate pressure. The stiffer filaments are designed for control, so practice consistent movement.
