Even if you do not, you will almost certainly get paint at the end of the bristles. Use a different brush for taking paint out of the pot (and mixing paint consistency)ĭo you use the same miniature paint brush to scoop paint out of the pot as the one you are going to paint with? Well, stop doing it!Įach time you do it, there is a chance you get paint in the ferrule. When this first happens, it is very hard to fix.
If after painting for a little while with a brush and the point starts splitting, it is likely this is your problem.
This will cause you to lose the tip, and the brush will split when you try to paint with it. When the paint dries, it will ‘glue’ your bristles together, so it feels more like a stick than a brush. If paint gets into the metal, you cannot get it out.
The metal ferrule is the thing keeping the bristles together in a sharp point. When loading your brush with paint you should always avoid getting paint near or in the ferrule (the small metal part).
