FAQ

What is the Blunt Brush S best used for? It is ideal for painting small parts with complex shapes, where a flat brush is too wide and a pointed brush does not provide enough paint coverage.

How does a blunt brush differ from a flat or pointed brush? The blunt brush combines the advantages of both. It offers better control than a flat brush while carrying more paint than a pointed brush, making it highly versatile for general modelling.

Can I use this brush with acrylic, enamel and lacquer paints? Yes. The natural horse-hair bristles are suitable for all common Tamiya modelling paints. Clean the brush thoroughly using the appropriate cleaner after each use.

Is this brush suitable for beginners? Yes. Its versatile shape makes it an excellent everyday brush for hobbyists of all skill levels.

How do I maintain the brush? Clean it immediately after use, reshape the bristles while damp and allow it to dry naturally before storing to maximise its service life.

Important Notes

• Clean the brush immediately after each use using the appropriate paint thinner or brush cleaner.
• Do not allow paint to dry in the bristles.
• Reshape the bristles after cleaning to maintain the original profile.
• Store the brush in a dry location with the bristles protected from damage.
• Use separate brushes where practical for different paint types to maximise brush life.
• Natural hair brushes require proper care to maintain performance and longevity.
