After you've cleaned the paint brush

Once the bristle paint brush is clean, we recommend combing the bristles to remove any dried paint and to reshape the brush. This will help to keep the heel of the brush from filling with hardened paint. Combing the brush is particularly important if you use a brush spinner as the bristles can become tangled. You can find brush combs at most hardware and paint stores. Our favorite is a comb we once bought to comb the loose hair out of our cat's fur.

After you have cleaned the flat paint brush, let it dry handing on a peg or nail. You can also place it on a flat surface. When the brush is dry, put the protective jacket back on brush. This will help to retain the proper shape. So is nylon paint brush.
