FAQ

What makes the High Finish brush different from a standard modelling brush? The High Finish series uses specially engineered resin bristles that provide excellent paint retention, smooth paint release and superior durability compared to traditional natural-hair brushes.

What is the Flat Brush No.02 best used for? Its 2mm width is ideal for painting small flat panels, sharp edges, trim and other areas that require precise, even coverage.

Can I use this brush with acrylic, enamel and lacquer paints? Yes. The synthetic resin bristles are designed for use with all common plastic model paints, including Tamiya acrylic, enamel and lacquer products.

Will the synthetic bristles hold their shape? Yes. With proper cleaning and care, the resin bristles are highly durable and resist deformation, helping maintain a consistent painting edge.

How should I clean the brush? Clean it immediately after use with the appropriate thinner or brush cleaner for the paint being used, then gently reshape the bristles before allowing the brush to dry naturally.

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 a straight, even edge.
• 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 performance.
• Synthetic resin bristles provide excellent durability but should still be handled with care to maintain optimum performance.
