Cling On Paint Brushes

Cling On! paintbrushes are the favorite brush among furniture painters. They offer superior application, resistant to shedding, and smooth flawless finishing.  Featuring premium synthetic filaments, a beech wood painted handle, fully locked in epoxy cement to eliminate shedding and a stainless-steel ferrule.  Hand made in Holland, Cling On! is designed for all waterborne materials. Brushes are available in round, oval, flat, block, and angled styles.

Cling On Brush Care

-Keep string intact on round and oval styles whenever possible; they are designed to preserve brush shape and are durable enough to withstand brush cleaning.

-Before painting with a chalk type paint, let your brush “get its feet wet”.  Allow the tips of the bristles to suspend in water.  Wring out lightly before use or spin to remove most of the water.  While painting, it may be beneficial to dip the tips in a little water to keep the paint from drying on the bristles and to produce the smoothest finish.  Do not use a wet brush with topcoats or paints with built in topcoats, such as One Hour Enamel.  Be sure to clean brush right away after use.

-Cling Ons can be used and stored wet.  This feature contributes to the brush stroke-free and flawless finish.  This also prevents the paint from drying on and damaging your bristles.  The life expectancy of a Cling On brush surpasses other brushes for this reason.

-When not in use, return the brush filaments to water (just the tips), do not saturate the head or handle of your brush in water.  Allowing the bristles to rest on the bottom of the container can disfigure them, so use a Cling On brush holder or engineer your own.  Start by using a mason jar with enough water to suspend the bottom of tips in, and a chip clip to hold the handle so that the tips keep from resting at the bottom of your container.

-When you are finished painting you may rinse with water or just return your brush to your brush holder to let the tips suspend in water; the paint will just slide off of the bristles.  A light rinse before use may be necessary and make sure to change out your water as needed.  Bad Ace Brush Soap and water cleanup is acceptable if the paint has been allowed to dry on your bristles.

-If you will not be using your brush frequently, you do not have to store it suspended in water.  Clean well with our Bad Ace Brush Soap and preserver and rinse out well with water.  Gently wring out remaining water and form bristles into shape before setting on flat surface to dry completely.  Store where bristles can lay undisturbed until next use.
