First-Use Preparation

Before using your brushes for the first time, follow these simple steps to condition the bristles:

1. Gently press and relax the brush hair to loosen it.
2. Submerge the bristles in warm water for at least 3 minutes.
3. Rinse away any loose hairs and allow to dry before use.

Brush Care Tips

• Remove the plastic cap permanently – trapped moisture inside can damage the bristles over time.
• Store by hanging – hang the brushes bristle-down when not in use to maintain their shape.
• Rinse after every use – clean ink and paint from the hair to extend brush life.
• Pre-wet before dipping – rinse the brush in clean water before loading with ink or paint for smoother application.
