They get clogged. Paint creeps up the bristles towards the ferrule, a little stays behind after every rinse, and a few weeks later the point that used to snap back starts to split. Water alone will not shift it; a proper wash at the end of the session will. This 100 g solid soap lifts water-based paint out of the bristles, leaves them conditioned rather than stripped, and helps the tip dry back to its shape. We sell kolinsky sable every day, our own series included, and this is the soap we wanted to put next to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleans right through.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifts water-based acrylics, washes, inks, watercolour and gouache from belly to tip, including what a water rinse leaves behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConditions rather than strips.\u003c\/strong\u003e A near-neutral formula with glycerin leaves a light conditioning film, so natural and synthetic hair stays supple, not brittle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReshapes the point.\u003c\/strong\u003e Shape the tip with a thin film of lather and let it dry.

Oils, enamels and lacquers need their own thinner first; the soap then washes out the residue and reconditions the hair. It will not dissolve fully cured paint: acrylic that has dried hard, above all inside the ferrule, is a plastic film no soap removes. Soften it with a dedicated brush restorer first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrushes shown in the photos are for illustration and are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Heaven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67626186211517,"sku":"HHC-1001","price":11.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/9583\/4503\/files\/11.Artist-Render-03-Box-Tin-Workshop.jpg?v=1790946254","url":"https:\/\/hobbyheaven.org\/en-ca\/products\/hobby-heaven-brush-cleaner-soap-100g","provider":"Hobby Heaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
