    • In order to retain the brush shape, use a brush tube or wrap the bristles in aluminum foil.

    • Within approximately three hours, the brush bristles will be back to normal.

    • Cut off excess frayed bristles (optional).

    • There may be a few fraying bristles left. These are harmless and will cling to the brush shape when dipped in paint.

    • If preferred, you may use a nail clipper to cut these hairs off.

終わりに

Your brushes should now be usable again. Unfortunately this cannot be done too many times because the turpentine will start to damage the bristles, so make sure to regularly wash your brushes.

Is this only for synthetic brushes? What about natural hair brushes which are frayed?

Hey! Can you tell me what is the use of wrapping the bristles in aluminium foil?

Santwana Verma - 返信

The article literally says “to retain the brush shape”

I’ve seen other tutorials say to mix vinegar with the boiled water, would you recommend it?
