🧼 Brush Care Essentials

Never let paint dry in the ferrule (metal part)

Rinse frequently while painting

Clean with brush soap after each session

Reshape tip and store flat or tip-up, never tip-down

Never use for drybrushing, stippling, or metallic paints — use synthetics for those

🎁 Included Free — PC Brush Protector

Every brush ships in our custom PC Brush Protector — a hard polycarbonate clear tube we developed ourselves. Nobody else uses it.

Hard PC tube — rigid protection, not flimsy plastic

Ventilated rubber cap — prevents moisture buildup and mould

Snug fit — bristle guard can't slip off during transit

Yours to keep for long-term storage

Works with: Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75, AK Interactive, Pro Acryl, Kimera, oil paints, enamels, watercolours, gouache

💡 Quick Tips

Stiff tip on arrival? That's gum arabic sizing — rinse in lukewarm water to remove

Don't judge brush size by the ferrule — kolinsky Size 1 outperforms cheap synthetic Size 000

Keep two water pots: one for rinsing, one for loading paint
