Hobby Heaven Brush Protector
Each Da Vinci Colineo X Point Brush is carefully inspected before dispatch. A light layer of bristle-conditioning medium is applied to preserve tip shape and quality during transit.
Our protective packaging includes a clear PC plastic tube with a breathable rubber cap to allow moisture to escape, preventing bristle damage from prolonged humidity. Inside, the brush is secured with a plastic bristle protector that fits snugly, ensuring it won't shift during transit.
