Will the bristles shed onto my wallpaper?
The brush is constructed for durability, but you should always flick the brush before use to remove any loose factory-cut bristles.
Is 12.5cm the right size for a standard wallpaper roll?
Yes, 12.5cm is a standard and highly effective width for applying paste to common wallpaper widths.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are stiff after cleaning
Soak the bristles in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes, then gently comb through them to remove dried residue.
Paste is applying too thick or unevenly
Wipe the excess paste against the rim of your bucket before applying; do not overload the brush head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, lightly rinse the brush to remove any loose factory dust. After each project, clean the brush immediately using warm soapy water; do not allow wallpaper paste to dry on the bristles, as this will harden them and degrade their performance. Once cleaned, shake out excess water and hang the brush to dry, ensuring the bristles maintain their shape. Store the brush in a dry environment away from direct heat sources to prevent the handle or bristles from warping.
