CONDITION BRUSHES BEFORE USE

1. Remove loose bristles, dust, and dirt to insure best results. Simply knead the bristles;then twirl brush repidly against palm of hand and tap bristles across fingers. You'll find your brush will paint much better.
2. To keep bristles flexible and to assure faster, smoother spreading of paint, always try to precondition a new brush by suspending it in linseedoil for at least 12 to 24 hours before use; brush will hold more paint.
3. Any linseed oil which is not absorbed should be pressed out with a stick, screwdriver, or similar article-or by squeezing the bristles between two dowels. Next, dip into turpentine to remove any excess remaining.
