The Empress Acrylic Brush
Preparation of your Empress Acrlic Brush
When you receive your Kolinsky brush the bristles will be held together with a starch solution. It is important that this starch solution is fully removed before first use of the brush.
You can do this by submerging the bristles into luke-warm water for approx 10 secs, and carefully drying the bristles with a lint-free wipe. Alternatively, you can 'flick' the bristles which will also remove the starch.
With Kolinsky bristle being a natural product you may need to trim any bristles that are not sitting parallel with the rest of the bristles. This is perfectly normal and expected with a new natural bristle brush.
Cleaning & storage of your Empress Acrylic Brush
Keeping your brush clean will extend its lifespan.
After using your Kolinsky brush with acrylic, rinse thoroughly with clean monomer, ensuring there is no acrylic left in the bristles. Realign your bristles to your desired shape, replace cap and store with the bristles facing down.
