The spalter is one of the most used tools in our decorative brush kit. Unlike the average cheap brush, our spalter has a thick row (1/3 inch) of short hair that is densely packed with a bristle/nylon blend for ultimate performance and control for today's water mediums. The smaller sizes have a variety of uses, from basecoats to final glazing, 'stretching' to softening. Available in 8 sizes.  Amazing for entire wall strie or criss-cross.

  • Nylon synthetic fiber with 50% natural bristle
  • stretch glaze for ultimate consistency
  • Softens unwanted brush/roller marks
  • Excellent for applying thin varnish and waxes
  • Fine/subtle strie
  • See GLZ-5 for more information
  • Water - Wash with soap, Oil: Thinned & wash w/ soap

How-To Brush Care Guide

Prepare your brushes for their first use - read below.

Most of our large and fine hair brushes are hand-set and made with different hairs that are tapped in a small copper cylinder before being glued into the ferrule. This is why some of the hairs are not properly affixed to the ferrule, so the brush will shed some hair the first few times you will use it.

Thick hair: examples are; badger, hog (china bristle), horse hair

Fine hair: examples are sable; squirrel, goat, skunk (fine, thin short hair)

Synthetic Fiber: examples are; taklon, samina, bordeaux, synthetic bristle


To minimize brush shedding, you should:

  1. Wash the brush thoroughly with a mild dish soap in warm water and massage the hair to comb out the loose bristles. Rinse until there is no soap residue left in the brush.
  2. Ring the brush out by rolling it between your hands as if you were trying to make a fire with a stick to fluff out the brush.
  3. Let dry by hanging the brushes or lay it down at the edge of a table (a hog bristle will have a strong odor due to the bone glue used to attach the bristles. This will go away after a few washings.)

Repeat this process a few more times.

All acrylic glazes contain some sort of ammonia which attacks the structure of the natural hair. Therefore, brush maintenance and thorough repetitive cleaning as described in step 1, 2, & 3 is imperative to protect and extend the life of your brush.

Applying a few drops of ‘leave in’ conditioner is also a good idea if you’re not going to be using your brush for some time.


Dried Paint: If some acrylic glaze becomes hardened on the brush, start by removing the heaviest part with denatured alcohol then rinse with water and coat the hairs with Murphy’s Oil Soap and leave for several hours. Apply the steps again from 1, 2, & 3 so the paint will brush out easily and leave your brush as good as new. Be careful as soap left too long in the natural hair will deteriorate the flexibility of the hair.


Proper cleaning procedure

for oil/water and large or small brushes:

  Oil Medium Water Medium
Large Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Wash brush with warm water and a lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry upside down. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Clean with a tiny bit of lathering soap and rinse until completely clean. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry.
Small Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Apply a generous portion of Lard to the tip of the brush and store. To reuse brush, completely thin with spirits. Clean each small brush very carefully and gently with a tiny bit of lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry . To reshape a brush, dip it in Gum Arabic.

Our classic hand mounted badger brush is made out of the finest grouping of water badger hair. Stay clear of the 'BAD'-ger impostor whose hair is made out of goat hair that has been dipped into black paint to look like a real badger.  Stiffer hair is good for softening and easier to clean as you go.

  • 3/4 inch thick, hand selected badger hair, which repels water
  • Resists fanning out with overuse
  • Best used with thin reversible water mediums (i.e. gouache, beer glaze)
  • Size 2 best for smoothing intricate surfaces
  • Size 4 is the universal size - best for faux marble/woodgraining
  • Size 6 the best for your largest smoothing job - amazingly productive brush!

      Most of our large and fine hair brushes are hand-set and made with different hairs that are tapped in a small copper cylinder before being glued into the ferrule. This is why some of the hairs are not properly affixed to the ferrule, so the brush will shed some hair the first few times you will use it.

      Thick hair: examples are; badger, hog (china bristle), horse hair

      Fine hair: examples are sable; squirrel, goat, skunk (fine, thin short hair)

      Synthetic Fiber: examples are; taklon, samina, bordeaux, synthetic bristle


      To minimize brush shedding, you should:

      1. Wash the brush thoroughly with a mild dish soap in warm water and massage the hair to comb out the loose bristles. Rinse until there is no soap residue left in the brush.
      2. Ring the brush out by rolling it between your hands as if you were trying to make a fire with a stick to fluff out the brush.
      3. Let dry by hanging the brushes or lay it down at the edge of a table (a hog bristle will have a strong odor due to the bone glue used to attach the bristles. This will go away after a few washings.)

      Repeat this process a few more times.

      All acrylic glazes contain some sort of ammonia which attacks the structure of the natural hair. Therefore, brush maintenance and thorough repetitive cleaning as described in step 1, 2, & 3 is imperative to protect and extend the life of your brush.

      Applying a few drops of ‘leave in’ conditioner is also a good idea if you’re not going to be using your brush for some time.


      Dried Paint: If some acrylic glaze becomes hardened on the brush, start by removing the heaviest part with denatured alcohol then rinse with water and coat the hairs with Murphy’s Oil Soap and leave for several hours. Apply the steps again from 1, 2, & 3 so the paint will brush out easily and leave your brush as good as new. Be careful as soap left too long in the natural hair will deteriorate the flexibility of the hair.


      Proper cleaning procedure

      for oil/water and large or small brushes:

        Oil Medium Water Medium
      Large Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Wash brush with warm water and a lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry upside down. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Clean with a tiny bit of lathering soap and rinse until completely clean. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry.
      Small Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Apply a generous portion of Lard to the tip of the brush and store. To reuse brush, completely thin with spirits. Clean each small brush very carefully and gently with a tiny bit of lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry . To reshape a brush, dip it in Gum Arabic.

      • Fine/subtle strie
      • Application/Usage: stretch; soften roller marks on basecoat & varnish applications; moire
      • Preferred Medium: Oil/Water
      • Brush Ferrule/Handle: copper, wooden flat short
      • Brush Hair Type: Natural Bristle/Nylon blend

      How-To Brush Care Guide

      Prepare your brushes for their first use - read below.

      Most of our large and fine hair brushes are hand-set and made with different hairs that are tapped in a small copper cylinder before being glued into the ferrule. This is why some of the hairs are not properly affixed to the ferrule, so the brush will shed some hair the first few times you will use it.

      Thick hair: examples are; badger, hog (china bristle), horse hair

      Fine hair: examples are sable; squirrel, goat, skunk (fine, thin short hair)

      Synthetic Fiber: examples are; taklon, samina, bordeaux, synthetic bristle


      To minimize brush shedding, you should:

      1. Wash the brush thoroughly with a mild dish soap in warm water and massage the hair to comb out the loose bristles. Rinse until there is no soap residue left in the brush.
      2. Ring the brush out by rolling it between your hands as if you were trying to make a fire with a stick to fluff out the brush.
      3. Let dry by hanging the brushes or lay it down at the edge of a table (a hog bristle will have a strong odor due to the bone glue used to attach the bristles. This will go away after a few washings.)

      Repeat this process a few more times.

      All acrylic glazes contain some sort of ammonia which attacks the structure of the natural hair. Therefore, brush maintenance and thorough repetitive cleaning as described in step 1, 2, & 3 is imperative to protect and extend the life of your brush.

      Applying a few drops of ‘leave in’ conditioner is also a good idea if you’re not going to be using your brush for some time.


      Dried Paint: If some acrylic glaze becomes hardened on the brush, start by removing the heaviest part with denatured alcohol then rinse with water and coat the hairs with Murphy’s Oil Soap and leave for several hours. Apply the steps again from 1, 2, & 3 so the paint will brush out easily and leave your brush as good as new. Be careful as soap left too long in the natural hair will deteriorate the flexibility of the hair.


      Proper cleaning procedure

      for oil/water and large or small brushes:

        Oil Medium Water Medium
      Large Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Wash brush with warm water and a lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry upside down. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Clean with a tiny bit of lathering soap and rinse until completely clean. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry.
      Small Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Apply a generous portion of Lard to the tip of the brush and store. To reuse brush, completely thin with spirits. Clean each small brush very carefully and gently with a tiny bit of lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry . To reshape a brush, dip it in Gum Arabic.

      The deerhoof and the Rondin are the ultimate striping brushes- no taping needed! A deerhoof is designed for striping color or size, much like the rondin brush. The deerhoof shape offers a distinct slant, which allows for optimum surface contact. The deerhoof is best for applying size or color to flat or curved surfaces. In order to make this brush so dense, its ferrule is constructed by hand, with quill and wire. By pinching the brush at the heal, long and exact stripes can be achieved.

       

    • A must-have for gilders
    • Can be used in oil/water when dedicated
    • Most comparable with the Rondin brush

      Fine hair: examples are sable; squirrel, goat, skunk (fine, thin short hair)

      Synthetic Fiber: examples are; taklon, samina, bordeaux, synthetic bristle


      To minimize brush shedding, you should:

      1. Wash the brush thoroughly with a mild dish soap in warm water and massage the hair to comb out the loose bristles. Rinse until there is no soap residue left in the brush.
      2. Ring the brush out by rolling it between your hands as if you were trying to make a fire with a stick to fluff out the brush.
      3. Let dry by hanging the brushes or lay it down at the edge of a table (a hog bristle will have a strong odor due to the bone glue used to attach the bristles. This will go away after a few washings.)

      Repeat this process a few more times.

      All acrylic glazes contain some sort of ammonia which attacks the structure of the natural hair. Therefore, brush maintenance and thorough repetitive cleaning as described in step 1, 2, & 3 is imperative to protect and extend the life of your brush.

      Applying a few drops of ‘leave in’ conditioner is also a good idea if you’re not going to be using your brush for some time.


      Dried Paint: If some acrylic glaze becomes hardened on the brush, start by removing the heaviest part with denatured alcohol then rinse with water and coat the hairs with Murphy’s Oil Soap and leave for several hours. Apply the steps again from 1, 2, & 3 so the paint will brush out easily and leave your brush as good as new. Be careful as soap left too long in the natural hair will deteriorate the flexibility of the hair.


      Proper cleaning procedure

      for oil/water and large or small brushes:

        Oil Medium Water Medium
      Large Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Wash brush with warm water and a lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry upside down. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Clean with a tiny bit of lathering soap and rinse until completely clean. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry.
      Small Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Apply a generous portion of Lard to the tip of the brush and store. To reuse brush, completely thin with spirits. Clean each small brush very carefully and gently with a tiny bit of lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry . To reshape a brush, dip it in Gum Arabic.

      This densely-packed softener is perfect for all small and detailed areas. Our classic hand mounted badger brush is made out of the finest grouping of water badger hair. Stay clear of the 'BAD'-ger impostor whose hair is made out of goat hair that has been dipped into black paint to look like a real badger. These impostors are far too soft to move the glaze. Stiffer hair is good for softening and easier to clean as you go.

      • 3/4 inch thick, hand selected badger hair, which repels water
      • Resists fanning out with overuse
      • Best used with thin reversible water mediums (i.e. gouache, beer glaze)
      • See also Water Softener- a true innovation for thicker water mediums
      • Fantastic for burnishing Dutch metal w/o scratching (for gold leaf, Chiqueteur)
      • Size 2 best for smoothing intricate surfaces
      • Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap

      How-To Brush Care Guide

      Prepare your brushes for their first use - read below.

      Most of our large and fine hair brushes are hand-set and made with different hairs that are tapped in a small copper cylinder before being glued into the ferrule. This is why some of the hairs are not properly affixed to the ferrule, so the brush will shed some hair the first few times you will use it.

      Thick hair: examples are; badger, hog (china bristle), horse hair

      Fine hair: examples are sable; squirrel, goat, skunk (fine, thin short hair)

      Synthetic Fiber: examples are; taklon, samina, bordeaux, synthetic bristle


      To minimize brush shedding, you should:

      1. Wash the brush thoroughly with a mild dish soap in warm water and massage the hair to comb out the loose bristles. Rinse until there is no soap residue left in the brush.
      2. Ring the brush out by rolling it between your hands as if you were trying to make a fire with a stick to fluff out the brush.
      3. Let dry by hanging the brushes or lay it down at the edge of a table (a hog bristle will have a strong odor due to the bone glue used to attach the bristles. This will go away after a few washings.)

      Repeat this process a few more times.

      All acrylic glazes contain some sort of ammonia which attacks the structure of the natural hair. Therefore, brush maintenance and thorough repetitive cleaning as described in step 1, 2, & 3 is imperative to protect and extend the life of your brush.

      Applying a few drops of ‘leave in’ conditioner is also a good idea if you’re not going to be using your brush for some time.


      Dried Paint: If some acrylic glaze becomes hardened on the brush, start by removing the heaviest part with denatured alcohol then rinse with water and coat the hairs with Murphy’s Oil Soap and leave for several hours. Apply the steps again from 1, 2, & 3 so the paint will brush out easily and leave your brush as good as new. Be careful as soap left too long in the natural hair will deteriorate the flexibility of the hair.


      Proper cleaning procedure

      for oil/water and large or small brushes:

        Oil Medium Water Medium
      Large Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Wash brush with warm water and a lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry upside down. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Clean with a tiny bit of lathering soap and rinse until completely clean. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry.
      Small Brushes Prep brushes by thinning in two or more baths of spirits or until a rag runs free of paint. Apply a generous portion of Lard to the tip of the brush and store. To reuse brush, completely thin with spirits. Clean each small brush very carefully and gently with a tiny bit of lathering soap. Shake out excess water, quickly form brush shape, and then allow to dry . To reshape a brush, dip it in Gum Arabic.
