Application Tips
For optimal results, load the brush moderately by dipping the bristles one third of their length into the product. The long bristles allow progressive varnish distribution, reducing the risk of runs and thick spots. Work in regular strokes, following the wood grain.
After use with solvent-based products, clean the brush immediately with the appropriate thinning agent, then wash with soapy water. Suspend by its hanging loop or lay flat to preserve bristle shape.
For large surfaces such as doors, choose widths 2 or 2.5 inch. The 1 and 1.5 inch formats are better suited for windows, mouldings and precision work.

Pro tips
The blend of natural and synthetic bristles in the Super Traditional makes it a true Swiss Army knife for professionals. Hog bristles provide the load capacity and flexibility needed for solvent-based lacquers, whilst synthetic fibres guarantee resistance and ease of cleaning. For demanding varnishing work, consider "breaking in" your new brush on a secondary surface before tackling the final piece. The brass ferrule with casting technology ensures excellent bristle retention, even after dozens of cleanings with powerful solvents.
FAQ
What is the difference between natural bristles and the synthetic bristle blend?
The Super Traditional combines 30% Chinese hog black with synthetic fibres. This blend offers both the load capacity and flexibility of natural bristles, and the solvent resistance and ease of maintenance of synthetics. Ideal for professional lacquers and varnishes.
Can I use this brush with water-based paints?
Yes, although primarily designed for solvent-based products (synthetic lacquers, 1K and 2K varnish), the Super Traditional is also compatible with water-based paints. Its versatility makes it a suitable tool for most professional applications.
How do I choose the right brush width?
The choice depends on the surface to be treated. The 1" and 1.5" sizes are suitable for small surfaces and detailed finishes (frames, mouldings). The 2" and 2.5" sizes are better suited for larger surfaces such as doors, shutters or panels. For versatile use, the 1.5" represents a good compromise.
How should I care for this brush correctly?
Clean immediately after use with the appropriate thinner for the product applied (white-spirit for solvents, soapy water for acrylics). Rinse thoroughly, squeeze the bristles from the ferrule towards the tip, and leave to dry flat or suspended by the handle. Proper maintenance guarantees longevity and preserves finish quality.
