Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These brushes are ready to use out of the box. For best results, especially with new brushes, gently flex the bristles to remove any loose manufacturing debris before initial use.
Compatibility: The Paint Warrior brushes are designed to work effectively with all types of paint, including water-based (latex, acrylic) and oil-based formulas. They are suitable for application on various surfaces such as drywall, plaster, wood, and metal.
Care: To ensure longevity and maintain performance:
- Cleaning: Immediately after use, rinse the brush thoroughly with the appropriate solvent (water for latex paints, mineral spirits or solvent for oil-based paints). Gently work the bristles to remove all paint residue.
- Washing: Wash with mild soap and water, rinsing until the water runs clear.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Reshape the bristles to their original form. Hang the brush bristles-down to dry, or lay it flat. Avoid storing brushes wet or in direct heat.
- Storage: Store brushes in a clean, dry place. Keeping them in the original packaging or a brush protector can help maintain bristle shape.
