How to get the best results from your Coral Paint Brushes
Taking a few easy brush-care steps before, during and after use will extend brush lifespan and ensure optimum performance. Weve shared some useful tips to help you achieve impressive results every time.
Q: How should I prepare my paint brush before use?
A:
Before first use, pre-wash and comb the brush to remove any debris. For best results on every use, pre-wet the brush with a suitable thinner and remove excess for a slightly damp, primed state that will accept the most paint. Avoid using water-based and solvent-based coatings with the same brush. Always refer to the coating manufacturers recommendations before starting application.
Q: What surface preparation is needed before painting?
A:
If required, use a scraper or sandpaper to ensure all surfaces to be painted are free from loose or flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler or sealant and sand down before wiping the area clean. Before painting, ensure surfaces are free from dust and dirt; wiping or washing them with sugar soap and water works well.
Q: Whats the most effective application method for painting a neat edge line (cutting in)?
A:
Dip the brush into the paint around a third of the way down the filaments to prevent overloading, then tap gently against the side of the paint container to remove excess. About an inch away from the area you want to cut in to, start at the top and work down, holding the paintbrush like a pencil so that it is parallel to the edge. Gently steer your brush towards the corner, using light, even strokes as you carefully follow the direction of the line, working back into the wet edge.
Q: Whats the best application method on larger surfaces?
A:
For painting a large area by brush, work in areas of about 50x50cm, applying the paint in horizontal strokes to evenly distribute the paint, then finishing off with light vertical strokes in the same direction.
Q: Whats the best way to clean my paint brush after use?
A: First, remove excess paint from the tool, then wash with a suitable thinner. For water-based coatings, use water. For solvent-based coatings, use white spirit. Work into the base of the bristles to remove all paint then rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel. Never soak, use hot water, or apply direct heat to brushes. Comb to shape and hang dry naturally.
Q: How should I store paint brushes during and after use to prolong their lifespan?
A:
To prevent dry-out and avoid dust and dirt entering the paint during short breaks in painting or overnight on longer projects, protect paintbrushes with an airtight cover like Corals Seal & Save Storage Wrappers, which fit mist brushes up to 4 wide and keep painting tools fresh for up to 3 weeks! Once your project is complete, store brushes in a cover or original packaging in a dry, dust-free place, to keep them in top condition for future use.
Q: Are there any time-saving tips to speed up my project?
A:
Use Coral Paintwiz Scuttle and Kettle Liners in your paint container or tray to avoid the hassle and mess of washing out your paint containers daily or when switching paint colours. To prevent paint dry-out during breaks, simply tie the drawstrings to keep paint fresh.
