Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your brushes, always prime the bristles by dampening them slightly before use with water-based paints. When working with oil-based products, start with dry bristles. After painting, clean the brushes immediately using the appropriate solvent—warm, soapy water for latex paints or the recommended mineral spirit for oil-based paints. Once cleaned, shake out excess liquid and hang the brushes by their handles to allow the bristles to retain their shape while drying. Avoid leaving the brushes sitting on their bristles in a container of water, as this will permanently deform the bristles.
