Troubleshooting
Excessive bristle shedding
Ensure the brush is fully clean and dry. If shedding persists, the bristles may be damaged; consider replacing the brush.
Uneven paint application or streaks
Check if the paint is properly stirred and thinned. Ensure you are using consistent brush strokes and not overloading the brush with paint. Clean the brush if paint has dried between the bristles.
Bristles splayed or misshapen
Clean the brush thoroughly and reshape the bristles while wet. Hang to dry or lay flat. Storing the brush improperly can cause this.
