So what is all the excitement about?

Staalmeester® Synthetic Blend Brushes were created for Painted Perfection

Staalmeester® has been manufacturing brushes for over 70 years. The synthetic blend bristles can be used with all types of paint, however, we are particularly happy with the way it performs with Fusion Mineral Paint.

Staalmeester® stands head and shoulders above the rest.

This unique synthetic/natural bristle blend has a short natural china bristle, blended with a longer silky synthetic bristle. The natural bristle ensures better paint absorption and the synthetic bristle component allows for a smooth, even application having minimal to no brush strokes.

This top-quality brush has a traditional beechwood handle and a coppered ferrule, (did you ever see a prettier brush?), with deeply set bristles which are ideal for painting small projects, complicated mouldings, banisters, window frames, ledges, doors and of course furniture. Aside from the flat, the Staalmeester® synthetic blend bristles have a band of string that is to be kept intact as they give the bristles direction and perfect tension.

Depending on your painting techniques you can achieve a smooth flawless finish or a unique heavy textured appearance.

We have curated for you 15 of the best brush styles Staalmeester®  to allow you to try a sampling of the quality of the Staalmeester® brushes.

Application

When starting with a new or dry brush submerge it into the water to the ferrule briefly just to dampen the bristles. Squeeze the bristles including the string so that the brush is barely damp.

Dip your brush into the paint only halfway up the bristles, otherwise, it is too much paint on the brush, and clean-up will be more work.

Should you notice any brush strokes, you have too much paint on your brush.

You don’t want to see paint dripping off your brush, you want enough that when you go to apply the brush, it doesn’t drag across, but slides nicely across without minimal effort.

 

Tips for the Fusion Staalmeester Collection

• Do not allow your brush to sit idle as the paint will dry onto the bristles.
• Keep a damp washcloth handy to wrap your brush should you need to stop painting for any reason, this will prevent the paint from drying on the brush. 
• Give your brush some extra love with Fusion’s Brush Soap for cleaning

Cleaning

Once finished painting, submerge the paint-soaked bristles of your brush into water and rinse for a minute. It is incredible how much paint has been absorbed by the paintbrush! So, allow it to sit in water up to the edge of the paint line or at the most up to the ferrule. (metal part holding the bristles). Allow at least 30 minutes to sit. Then, the paint ends up falling off the bristles into the water-saving you a lot of time rinsing.  Rinse and change the water. If it is not clear then repeat this process. You can also use the soap as you rinse out the bristles.

Allow the brush to dry further at normal room temperature. Do not heat up the process above a radiator or dry by using a cloth. Then restore the bristle to its original shape, for example by wrapping it into a foil/film. Another option is using the hole in the handle to allow the paintbrush to hang for drying.

Using a tiny amount of brush soap for every other brush cleaning condition the natural bristles. It also removes paint from the synthetic bristles. If there is still paint remaining within the paintbrush and it dries, your bristles will stiffen as the paint acts as glue. That’s why it is crucial all paint is removed from your brush before you allow it to dry.

These brushes are not designed to be disposable! They are up to the task of being used for many years.

This is why we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Fusion Staalmeester collection!

Have fun out there!
