Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These brushes are ready to use out of the package. Ensure they are clean before first use, especially if they have been stored for a while.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with various paint types, including latex, oil-based paints, and stains. The NYLYN filaments are designed for broad compatibility.
Care Instructions:
- After Use: Immediately remove excess paint from the brush by wiping it on the edge of the paint can or a scrap surface.
- Cleaning: For water-based paints, wash thoroughly with warm water and mild soap or detergent. For oil-based paints or stains, use mineral spirits or the manufacturer's recommended thinner, followed by a wash with soap and water.
- Rinsing: Rinse until the water runs clear, ensuring all paint residue is removed from the filaments.
- Drying: Gently reshape the bristles with your fingers and allow the brush to air dry completely, preferably hanging bristles down or lying flat to prevent water from settling in the ferrule.
- Storage: Store brushes in a clean, dry place. For long-term storage, consider using a brush keeper or covering the bristles with a protective sleeve to maintain their shape.
