How to use

To use the Pelikan 711077, dip the bristles into your paint, ensuring you do not submerge the ferrule to maintain the integrity of the brush. Apply the paint to your surface using light, controlled strokes. After use, rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water and mild soap if necessary. Reshape the bristles with your fingers and allow the brush to air dry in a horizontal or hanging position to prevent damage to the bristles.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the brush size to ensure it meets your specific project requirements.
• Verify that your chosen paint medium is compatible with natural pony hair.
• Ensure proper storage space is available to keep the bristles protected when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Always clean your brush immediately after use to prevent paint from drying within the bristles, which can cause them to fray or lose their shape. Avoid leaving the brush standing in water for extended periods.
