Draper Paint-Brush - 12mm

This brush is a general-purpose type, effective with most water-based (emulsion) and solvent-based (oil) paints, as well as varnishes and lacquers.

After use with oil-based paint, clean the brush immediately with the appropriate solvent (like white spirit or turpentine), then wash with soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles.

While versatile, the 12mm width makes it more suitable for general coverage. For very fine detail, a smaller, more specialized brush might be preferred.

The stainless steel ferrule provides a strong, rust-resistant connection between the bristles and the handle, ensuring durability and preventing the bristles from loosening or falling out during use.

After cleaning and drying, store the brush flat or hanging with the bristles pointing upwards. Avoid storing it bristles-down, as this can distort their shape over time.

Reshape the bristles while wet after cleaning. Store the brush flat or hanging to maintain its shape.

Ensure the brush is clean and properly loaded with paint. Try using lighter, more even strokes. Check if the paint consistency is suitable for the brush.

This can indicate a manufacturing defect or excessive wear. Ensure the ferrule is tight. If shedding is persistent, consider replacing the brush.

Use the appropriate cleaning agent (water for water-based, solvent for oil-based). For stubborn paint, allow the cleaner to soak for a few minutes before rinsing.
