Cleanup
| Use separate brushes and rollers for
oil-based and water-based paints and finishes because any residue
of either paint left on the bristles or roller acts like glue when
it comes into contact with the other. With proper cleaning and maintenance,
your Dynamic paintbrushes and rollers will provide the same high quality
results for years to come. Always clean brushes and rollers immediately
after use, referring to Dynamic packaging and the paint can label
for product-specific cleaning instructions. If you'll be continuing
your painting project the next day, wrap paint-covered brushes and
rollers tightly with plastic wrap and store in a cool, dark place
overnight. |

Cleaning Your Paintbrush
After using oil-based paint, spin your brush with a Dynamic Brush and Roller Spinner. Wash the brush with the thinner or solvent recommended on the paint can label, such as Dynamic VARSOL or Kwik Clean, or use Dynamic Paint Thinner (Mineral Spirits). Continue rinsing with the appropriate thinner or solvent until the brush is clean. Do not rinse natural-bristle brushes with water - it makes them swell and become very soft and difficult to paint with in the future. After using water-based paint, spin your brush then rinse with Dynamic Paint Thinner (Mineral Spirits) then wash with warm water and a detergent containing petroleum distillates, which break down paint better than plain hand soap or dish soap. Finish by rinsing with fresh water until the brush is clean. Shake or spin excess
water or thinner out of the brush, comb brush with a Dynamic brush
comb and hang until almost dry. Shape the brush by hand while it
is still slightly damp and return it to its original package for
storage – many Dynamic paint brushes are sold in treated cardboard
“keepers ” that maintain the shape of the brush head
and prevent flaring, so you can use your paintbrush over and over
again and again and still get the same great results! |

Cleaning Your Roller Clean your roller cover and handle with the appropriate cleaner for the paint type you are using, as described above. Use a Dynamic Brush and Roller Spinner to eliminate excess water or paint thinner. Then, dry the roller cover with a towel or clean rag and stand on end until it is completely dry. |
