Troubleshooting
Bristles splaying or losing shape
Ensure thorough cleaning after each use. Avoid leaving paint to dry in the bristles. If splaying occurs, try reshaping them gently after cleaning and allow them to dry fully before next use. Consider using a brush conditioner if paint buildup is suspected.
Paint not adhering well to the model
Check if the paint is properly thinned for brush application. Ensure the brush is loaded with an appropriate amount of paint. Clean the brush if it has dried paint residue.
Bristles feel stiff after cleaning
You may have used too much thinner or cleaner, or not rinsed thoroughly enough. Try soaking the bristles in warm water with a drop of mild soap, then rinse and reshape. Avoid harsh solvents on synthetic brushes if possible.

Compatibility: These brushes are compatible with most hobby paints, including acrylics, enamels, and lacquers. For best results, especially with aggressive solvents, always test on a scrap surface first.
Care: To ensure longevity and performance:
- Clean Immediately: After each use, clean the brushes thoroughly with appropriate brush cleaner (e.g., water for acrylics, specific thinner for enamels/lqquadel) to remove all paint residue.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with clean water until no pigment remains.
