Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or uneven.
Gently wash the bristles with mild soap and water, reshape them by hand, and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat.

Ensure all loose fibers were removed before first use. Clean the brush thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry. Avoid excessive pressure during use.
Paint application is streaky.
Check for consistent paint load on the brush. Ensure bristles are clean and properly shaped. Try varying the pressure slightly.
