Overview

The Purdy XL Cub Brush is a high-performace paintbrush designed for exceptional precision and control, perfect for both interior & exterior projects due to the angled copper ferrule and semi-rigid filaments. Crafted with a unique blend of Dupont Chinex, Orel and polyester solid round tapered filaments to offer a range of benefits: greater paint loading, smooth and consistent application, high abrasion resistance, superior cutting-in and detail work, and easier cleaning. Ideal for use with all paints and stains. 

• Angled copper ferrule for enhanced control and precision.
• Combines Dupont Chinex, Orel, and Polyester filaments for greater paint loading and smooth application.
• High abrasion resistance and self-flagging filaments for long-lasting performance and quick cleaning.
• Suitable for all paints and stains.

Preparation

1. Condition the Brush:

   • Before first use, lightly dip the bristles in water (for water-based paints) or in the appropriate solvent (for oil-based paints) and shake off excess. This helps improve paint loading and prevents the bristles from becoming too stiff.

2. Inspect the Surface:

   • Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.

3. Load the Brush Properly:

   • Dip the brush into the paint to cover about one-third of the bristles. Avoid overloading, as it may cause drips or uneven application.

Application

• For cutting in or detail work, use the angled edge of the bristles to create clean, precise lines.
• Use smooth, even strokes, working in the direction of the surface grain for the best finish.

Aftercare & Storage

1. Clean Immediately After Use:

   • For water-based paints, rinse the brush thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
   • For oil-based paints, clean with the appropriate solvent (e.g., white spirit or mineral spirits), followed by a warm soapy rinse.
   • Use a paintbrush comb or cleaner to gently remove any paint trapped in the bristles or ferrule.
