Product Review

Paul Rubens squirrel hair brush is hand made in China, using the finest squirrel hair to produce a brush that holds paint exceptionally well and comes to an excellent point.
Squirrel hair is extremely soft and more delicate than other hairs.
It's holding capacity is unsurpassed, and the hair is so fine that a brushstroke will not leave voids or hair tracks.

How to wash a new brush properly?
Brand new brushes have their hair sized with a gum protected and shaped to a point.
The sizing protects the brush hairs during shipping and on the shelf until you buy it.
To properly break in a new brush you must dip it in your water container and swirl it around until the sizing softens up and washes away.
After thoroughly rinsing, store it on flat until it is naturally dried.

Warm Tip
Don't leave brushes soaking in your rinse water, because a lacquered wooden handle will be quickly ruined this way.

Since the squirrel hair is not very strong and will not readily maintain its shape when loaded with paint and dry up after use.
