FAQs

What sizes are included in this 5-piece set?

The set includes five brushes with the following sizes: 1/2" (12mm), 1" (25.4mm), 1 1/2" (38.1mm), 2" (50.8mm), and 2 1/2" (63.5mm).

Can I use these brushes for varnishing?

While primarily designed for gloss and emulsion paints, these brushes may be used for some varnishing applications if the varnish is compatible with PP filament bristles and the application method is suitable for this brush type. However, specialized varnish brushes might yield better results for fine finishes.

Are these brushes suitable for exterior painting?

These brushes are best suited for interior decorating. For exterior projects, consider brushes designed to withstand harsher conditions and a wider range of paint types.

How do I clean the brushes after using gloss paint?

After using gloss paint, clean the brushes immediately with a suitable solvent like mineral spirits or white spirit. Follow up with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and allow to dry.

Will these brushes work with latex paint?

Yes, latex paint is a type of emulsion paint, so these brushes are suitable for use with latex paint.

What is the handle material?

The handles are made from PP plastic (Polypropylene).

How should I store the brushes to ensure they last?

After cleaning and reshaping, store the brushes in a dry place, ideally hanging or bristle-end up, to prevent damage to the bristles and maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Bristles splaying or losing shape during use

Ensure you are not overloading the brush with paint or applying excessive pressure. Clean the brush thoroughly after each use and reshape the bristles.

Paint not applying evenly

Check that the brush is adequately loaded with paint. Ensure the brush is clean and the bristles are flexible. For gloss paints, ensure the solvent used for cleaning has been fully removed.

Paint drying too quickly on the brush

Work in smaller sections and clean the brush more frequently, especially in warm conditions. Do not leave the brush standing in paint.

Brush shedding bristles

This can occasionally happen with new brushes. Ensure you are not pulling too hard on the bristles. If shedding persists after initial use and cleaning, contact customer support.
