Keeping your brushes in good condition requires some precautions

• After each use, clean the Spalter Performance brush thoroughly. Before each use, clean the brush again.
• Do not place brushes at the bottom of a container to avoid crushing the bristles; instead, prefer hanging them.

Here are 5 Signs that help recognise quality spalter brushes and paintbrushes:

1. Bristle resilience

Quality bristles return to their original shape after being slightly bent. If you press gently on the bristles and they quickly return to their initial position, it is a good sign. The bristles should not remain bent or broken.

2. Density and uniformity:

The bristles should be dense and evenly distributed, without empty spaces or sparse areas. When looking at the brush from the side, you should see a regular line without tufts sticking out.

3. Ferrule quality:

The metal part that holds the bristles should be securely attached to the handle, with no looseness. It should be made of high-quality stainless metal, without rust marks or deformation. The crimping should be perfect to prevent bristles from falling out.

4. Ergonomic handle:

A good handle should be made of varnished or lacquered hardwood, providing a comfortable grip. It should not have splinters or rough areas. The varnish protects the wood from moisture and solvents.

5. Water resistance test:

Dip the bristles in water and then shake gently. The bristles of a quality spalter brush will remain grouped without spreading out or losing their shape. Once dry, they should naturally regain their original appearance without forming strands.
