All brushes, except blue top bristles, can be used for both uses as long as they are designated to that specific medium. Blue top brushes are only for water. Cleaning the brush after each use will increase longevity.

All kits are hand-selected by Pierre Finkelstein for their usefulness and efficiency in creating the specific technique listed as the product name.

There are several levels to the brush kits, depending on the cost and number of brushes desired for purchase.

• The Intro Kit is the smallest-sized kit that is good for entry-level use.
• The Standard Kit is a medium-sized kit that will give you most of the brushes needed for the specific technique.
• The Full Kit is our largest kit option and has the largest amount of the necessary brushes for that
  technique. 

Each brush will have measurements provided in inches and milimeters. The chart is called "Size Translations" located under the product description.

• Sheer for when you are trying to replicate a natural finish (faux finish) wood graining, marble, leather, tortoiseshell. When there are many layers of paint you need to let the layers show through with sheer.
• Glazing medium for when only putting over 1-2 colors like glazing a large wall to extend the dry time.

It's common for our brushes to shed a few hairs during the first use, but this should stop shortly after. If shedding continues beyond that, it may indicate a manufacturing defect or that the brush hairs are not compatible with the medium you're using.

Please reach out to us if the issue persists. Please contact info@fauxbrushes.com

For cleaning use soap and water avoiding submerging the brush past the ferrule. Lukewarm to cool water is the preferred temperature.

Hang the brush hair down to dry or lay flat. Avoid drying with brush hair facing upwards or submerged in water, this will loosen the glue in the ferrule.

For a Softener Brush, it must be cleaned consistently with a damp microfiber cloth. To prevent paint getting clogged up, it must be constantly cleaned and dry. You are able to dry by spinning it between your palms then leaving to dry. This should take no longer than a lunch break.

We have Brush clips that can help hold the brush in place to dry and cleaning supplies.

• Single Brush Clip
• Brush Holder for Bucket
• Brush Cleaners

Unfortunately, we do not offer these services. We recommend using Mixol and or Golden Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics for tinting.

HV'Art is predominately for interior decorative painting. We do not recommend using for outdoor or high-traffic areas. Weathering, water, and other elements can affect the finish as the water-based lacquer is not as strong compared to solvent-based lacquer.

It is highly recommended to use the product line. In the case of using non-HV'Art products, please ensure the PH is compatible and all substances are cured prior to using HV'Art.

We recommend to use our HV'Art Adhesion and Hardening Additive which will optimize the adhesion to previous layer as well as adding hardness.

We sell in 3 sizes in Liters.
• 1 Liter *Limited Quantity*
• 2.5 Liters
