Troubleshooting
Brush leaves streaks of paste
Ensure the paste is evenly loaded onto the brush. Try a slightly different angle of application and ensure the brush is not overloaded.
Paste not applying smoothly
Check if the paste has dried on the brush. Clean the brush thoroughly with warm water and try again. Ensure the paste consistency is correct.
Filaments are splayed or misshapen
This can occur if the brush was not cleaned properly or stored incorrectly. Ensure thorough cleaning after each use and store flat or with bristles up.
