Lime Wash Paint Block Brush 3cm x 10cm

This limewash brush is best used when you have a small to medium sizes project and a smooth surfaces to paint.

Generally is best to grip the brush at the body, not so much on the handle. Move the brush at right angle across the surface, not sideway so that all bristle ends can do their work.

Do not add too much pressure, let the bristles do their work.

Smaller indentations are best painted with a small circular movements, when they are covered, brush out across the source and distribute the paint evenly.

Do not leave too much paint behind - stretch out the paint further. It is better to apply the paint thin than too thick.

If the surface is very absorbent, use clean water to dampen it until it is easy to paint.

Stir well and regularly!

Fill a small bucket of water and submerge the brush, shake it under the water a few times until most of the colour is out.

Then rinse under the tap, always towards the bristle tips, never against it.

Shake out the brush, shape the bristles back towards the centre of the brush and allow to dry upright on a rag. Do not leave standing in water.

It is best if you wash your brushes out after use, as the alkaline nature of limewash will dry out the bristles and can cause them to break more easily.

Use BAUWERK Brush Cleaner to prolong the life of your brushes.

New natural fibre brushes do loose a few hairs, that is normal. Before the first use can ''break them in'' by brushing them against a course surface with a bit of pressure and then gently tease out any strangs that are loose.

But even if you start painting right away you don't have to worry, keep painting and let the surface dry. Any strangs will fall off easily with a gently touch after that. After the first use of your brush almost all loose hair will have come out.

Washing out our paint is safe, even for your septic system or your garden. It will not adversely affect the environment, as we only use in our paints only ingredients that are non-toxic and safe for humans and the environment.
