Brush Care
| Follow these tips to keep your brushes in top working
condition. When loading, using
or cleaning, work hairs in their natural
direction. Do not leave a brush
soaking in liquid for long periods, especially resting on its
bristles. Never allow paint to
dry on your brush or work its way into the
ferrule. Clean your brushes
thoroughly and promptly with a cleaning solution suited to the media used. For best
results, use a brush cleaner and always read the instructions given on the
paint/cleaner containers. Store
brushes so there is no pressure on the hair. Brush Tub & Brush Tub II are designed to make it easy to clean
your brushes quickly and thoroughly. Each tub has three separate chambers. Fill each
with about 2 inches of water. During painting keep water in one of the small sides
completely clean for dressing your brush. Use the other small section for swish
rinsing and the large section with the ribs for thorough cleaning, especially at the
end of your painting session. To
clean, pull brush along the ribs, low to high. Pull one direction only and then turn
the brush over and do the same on the other side. The brush should make contact with
the ribs on or as close to the ferrule as possible, so as not to cause damage to the
hair and to help vibrate paint out of the
ferrule. | |
