　　Correct use of wool brushes

　　When using a water-soluble paint, wet the brush with water before applying it; when using an oil-based paint, wet the brush with alcohol. Remove excess liquid from the brush to make the brush moist and not wet, so that the brush can absorb the paint better and is easy to apply.

　　Dip 1/3 to 1/2 of the bristles into the paint and squeeze gently on the inside of the paint container to squeeze out excess paint from the brush. When painting, the brush and the brushing surface should be kept at an angle of about 45 degrees, and a certain pressure is applied to make the bristles slightly curved. Brush each time gently after brushing, and the brush marks should be long and flat. To avoid over-painting, brush the area from the unpainted area to the painted area. When painting wood, it should be painted in the direction of the wood grain.

　　Finally, use a brush to gently brush in the direction of the brush to obtain a smoother, fuller and brighter paint film.

　　Cleaning and maintenance of wool brushes

　　After use, the paint brush should be cleaned before the paint is dried. Wash the solvent-based coating with the appropriate solvent and wash the water-soluble coating with a mild cleaning solution. A strong solvent can also damage the bristles. You can't stand the brush vertically in the paint or water. You can't soak the brush in the water.

　　After cleaning, the brush should be placed flat or suspended, and the bristles should not be bent.
