FAQs
See all FAQsWhat's the best brush for cutting in?
A cutting in brush has an angled tip that lets you paint a neat line along ceilings, skirting and window frames. Try the Diamond Cutting In Brush or the No Bristle Loss Cutting In Brush.
What size paint brush should I use?
Match the brush to the surface. A 0.5 to 1 inch brush suits narrow window frames and fiddly details, 1.5 to 2 inch brushes suit skirting boards, doors and frames, as well as cutting in, and 3 to 4 inch brushes are best for larger flat areas. If you're not sure, a set such as the 5 pc Loss Free Paint Brush Set gives you a choice of sizes in one pack.
How do I stop brush marks and loose bristles spoiling my finish?
Load the brush a third of the way up the bristles, apply in long, even strokes, then finish with light strokes in one direction. A quality brush makes a real difference. The Diamond Paint Brush is a great choice for a smooth finish, and our No Bristle Loss Paint Brush is made to stop stray bristles ending up in your paintwork.
What should I use to paint large walls or exterior surfaces with a brush?
A wide brush holds more paint and covers big areas faster. The 4" Wall Brush and 4" Emulsion Block Brush are built for walls, including rougher surfaces where a fine brush would wear out quickly.
How do I paint a fence or shed quickly?
Use a wide brush to hold plenty of treatment, and work along the length of each board, following the grain. Finish a whole board before moving on to avoid lap marks. The 4" Shed & Fence Brush is made for this, and the Woodcare Brush is ideal for garden furniture and smaller wooden items.
How should I clean and store my brushes?
For water-based paints, rinse in warm soapy water until it runs clear. For oil-based paints, use white spirit or brush cleaner, then wash with soapy water. Reshape the bristles and dry the brush flat or hanging, never resting on its bristles. Keep a separate brush for wood stains and treatments, as they can be hard to clean out fully.
