The One – Decoration Spalter Brush 50mm

One by Staalmeester® series: Unique because of its ultra-soft synthetic fiber for a sublime brush mark-free result. The One series contains a special selection of finishing and artist brushes that aren’t available in any other Staalmeester® series. The One series can be used with all types of paint, and when you properly maintain the One brushes, they retain their shape, flexibility, and softness, even after years of intensive use.

The decoration ‘spalter’ brush is only available in the special One by Staalmeester series. What makes the brush special is that it has a very short handle, which helps you neatly smooth out the paint even in the trickiest corners. Besides painting smaller furniture, this brush is often used to apply gold leaf.

All Staalmeester® brushes have this in common:

• Handmade in Europe
• FSC wood used for the handles
• Sustainable packaging (eco-friendly inks on recycled paper)
• Developed by a proud Dutch family firm

To make sure you can enjoy the fantastic quality of the Staalmeester® brushes as long as possible, It’s essential to clean your brushes and rollers well after every use. For water based paints such as Fusion Mineral Paint or Milk paint cleaning is easy using water. After a quick initial rinse, allow the brush to sit in water under the edge of the string or metal ferrule for at least 30 minutes. This will loosen the paint away from the bristles so paint effortlessly falls away when washing. When it is time to wash your brush, using a small dab of the Fusion brush cleaner will not only remove any remaining paint but also leaves the bristles  conditioned, especially important for the natural bristles. When using oils, waxes or other oil based coatings such as the Stain and Finishing Oil an initial cleaning using a bit of the odorless mineral spirits is required.

TIP!
If you don’t have time to clean your brush or roller, avoid paint drying on them. Wrap in plastic, cover with a damp cloth, or leave the brush in a small container of water up to the ferrule to later clean. For rollers: remove roller from handle and totally immerse to soak in water. The next day rinse until cleaned. Reuse the handles and rollers over and over !
