Paint Brush VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Round Brush Premium Marta Kolinsky Size 2

Round paint brush VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Round Brush Premium Marta Kolinsky Size 2 is a precision tool intended for fine detail painting. The brush features a pointed round tip made from natural Marta Kolinsky hair, designed to hold paint evenly and form a reliable fine point.

A well-shaped ferrule and balanced handle support steady handling and comfortable use during extended painting sessions.

How to use

Before first use, rinse the brush gently in clean water (or the appropriate thinner for solvent-based paints) to remove any manufacturing residue and reshape the tip with your fingers. Load the brush with a small amount of paint, avoiding overloading the belly to preserve the fine point. Use light pressure for thin lines and controlled strokes; increase pressure slightly for broader marks. Clean the brush thoroughly after each session using a suitable brush cleaner or mild soap and water, then reshape the tip and store horizontally or tip-up to protect the hairs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal lifetime, avoid leaving the brush soaking in solvent or water for prolonged periods, and avoid using it with heavy-bodied or abrasive pigments without thinning. Regular gentle cleaning and proper storage will keep the Marta Kolinsky hairs in good condition and maintain the fine point required for precision painting.
