Brush care

Our expert advice:

• Always clean brushes immediately after use, before the acrylic paint has dried.
• Remove excess paint from the brush before cleaning with water or brush cleaner, for example, by stroking it on a paper towel.
• Avoid standing brushes on their tips if possible, as this may cause the bristles or hairs to bend.
• Squeeze out water from the bristles after rinsing and reshape them back to their original shape.
• Hang brushes upside down to dry (e.g. using a brush washer) or lay them on a sheet of paper towel.
• Allow brushes to dry at room temperature (do not place them on a heater).

The brush repair gel can be used to reshape the brush. The gum arabic helps reshape the brush tip.
