This product is made from a special formulation that is designed to break through hardened acrylic, oil or lacquer on natural and synthetic paintbrushes, bringing them back to life. How do you clean your brushes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chroma Incredible Brush Cleaner\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/egDWU-oiB-I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If cleaning oil or lacquer, rinse brushes in <a href=\"https:\/\/chromaonline.com\/archivaloil\/products\/archival-odourless-solvent\/\">Archival Oils Odourless Solvent<\/a> then dry with a cloth. If removing acrylic, rinse excess paint with water.<\/li><li>Use Incredible Brush Cleaner undiluted, gently working the cleaner back and forward well into the bristles, creating a thick lather of bubbles.<\/li><li>Rinse well in lukewarm water to ensure all of the Incredible Brush Cleaner is removed from the bristles and water runs clear.<\/li><li>Re-shape the bristles and let them dry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When shaping round brushes twist and pull the bristles through your fingertips to create a neat point. When shaping flat or filbert brushes pinch and pull the bristles through your fingers to create a crisp edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry brushes flat surface, ideally with the bristles hanging off the edge of the surface. The edge of a bench or sink works perfectly. This helps with the longevity of the glues at the furrow. Drying upright encourages a buildup of water and soap residue that can deteriorate the glue over time. Never dry your brushes bristle down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_13542f-26 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chromaonline.com\/atelieracrylic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_2900-web.jpg?resize=1024%2C641&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to clean your brushes\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-8085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chromaonline.com\/atelieracrylic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_2900-web.jpg?resize=1024%2C641&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chromaonline.com\/atelieracrylic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_2900-web.jpg?resize=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chromaonline.com\/atelieracrylic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_2900-web.jpg?resize=768%2C481&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chromaonline.com\/atelieracrylic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_2900-web.jpg?resize=1536%2C961&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chromaonline.com\/atelieracrylic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_2900-web.jpg?w=1726&amp;ssl=1 1726w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an old brush with bristles that are badly out of shape, you can use Incredible Brush Cleaner to reshape the bristles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to reshape your brush:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>First, wash the brush with the Incredible Brush Cleaner then rinse.<\/li><li>Reapply the cleaner, work into a lather.<\/li><li>Reshape the bristles<ul><li>Round Brushes &#8211; Pinch and twist the bristles in your fingers to form a point.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Flat Brushes (filbert, dagger, bright, rake) &#8211; Pinch and pull the bristles to create a chiseled edge.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Let dry on a horizontal surface for 24 hours with the cleaner on the left in the brush.<\/li><li>After at least 24 hours, rinse the cleaner out with water, re-shape and your brush is ready to use!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Incredible Brush Cleaner is specially designed for cleaning and preserving natural and synthetic brushes.
