FAQ

What is the Flat Brush No.0 best used for? Its 4mm flat profile is ideal for painting larger flat surfaces, applying base coats, painting straight edges and covering areas more efficiently than a round brush.

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. Always clean the brush with the appropriate cleaner after use.

Is this brush suitable for fine detail painting? While it can paint sharp edges and fine lines using the edge of the bristles, a smaller round brush is generally recommended for very fine details.

How do I make the brush last longer? Clean it immediately after use with the appropriate thinner or brush cleaner, reshape the bristles while damp and allow it to dry naturally before storing.

Can this brush be used for weathering? Yes. It is suitable for dry brushing, blending and applying weathering effects depending on the technique and type of paint being used.

Important Notes

• Clean the brush immediately after each use using the appropriate paint thinner or cleaner.
• Do not allow paint to dry in the bristles.
• Reshape the bristles after cleaning to maintain their 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.
