The instructions say to use an acrylic brush... Are there any affects if I use a natural bristle brush?

I used a natural brush at first, found it shed too much. It is best from my experience to use a basic acrylic brush.

This is a very thick liquid, I actually found putting it into a cup, and quickly ran a string of my home made beads through the solution. I think you can use any brush, bu the thicker it is the easier it will loose bristles. Good Luck. God Bless

The glaze is just thick so it might pull out natural bristles a lot faster than you'd like.

I would not use a brush at all but it depends on what you're using it for. I don't like to see brush strokes so I pour the gloss into a bottle with a medium size nozzle and just squeeze it out for flawless coverage. So it doesn't matter what kind of brush you use as long as the bristles are steadfast. You don't want to leave brush bristles on your work. Hope this helps.

I find the bristles very soft. If you apply pressure, you probably could irritate your skin, but if you use gentle strokes, you should be okay. I use circular strokes when washing my face.

Use something like a toothbrush---or even a brand new metal dog comb!? What I have a problem with (for my hard rubber combs)--is hairspray accumulating (believe it or not)!! The effect of this is to block the tongs? on the comb----making it hard to use!! I use a small toothbrush---in seconds it removes the hairspray particles and the comb is fine!!

Hi sorry just read the email, i use nail polish remover when I use nail color, I have not used the acrylic paint as of yet, but will probably has to use a small amount of paint remover on a tissue to remove the paint, not sure on that, will get back to you on acrylic paints, but water base paint is easy to remove, I guess it will come down to what type of nail art you use. Thanks for asking.

Good morning. You may have to push it two/three times and the "solution" comes out in the centre of the bristles. I love it and also go to Kazumi for my regular colour. She is the best!!!!

I haven't tried dry brushing yet, but I think it would work great since it's a firm, natural bristle brush, which is the ideal one for this particular use.

You can. This product is not worth the money. It is big and bulky and hard to handle. And when finished you still need the plain old brush

No. I did not have any problems. But make sure the brush head is on. If it is not pushed in correctly it will not work.

You can use a brush to dob it on in certain places like corners and stuff. I wouldn't use it for long strokes though. There's small rubber particles and if you try to brush it, they'll all end up at the end of your brush stroke.

I too have no trouble just cleaning the bristles by hand. The bristles are so short it really shouldn't be a problem, then wash after.

I make sure to always have the brush with the bristles downward...I then add a little bit of olive oil to the soap I use (baby shampoo) and mix them. That really helps condition the bristles of your brush and it keeps it in great condition!

I didn't use anything special but I found I liked the wider/flat/somewhat firm bristled paint brushes I had in my stash - they were part of a paint brush variety pack I had purchased at some point, nothing special. I tried using one of those sponge brushes and it introduced too many air bubbles into the chalkboard surface.

These brushes are on the cheaper side, so you can try it use it on a brush that you don't use to see the result, but it can ultimately lessen the lifespan of the brushes. It's better to use none-acetone based.

I have not changed any of the bristles on my brush but I don't think it should be that hard at all I've done it with other brushes before it is a very simple task. I do like the brush I'm very happy with it, is very easy to clean. Definitely a good purchase.

I have not done this for the Helen of Troy brush but in the past I have taken bristles from another brush and replaced the worn out ones. Hope this helps

I would suggest you replace the brush as often as you replace your toothbrush.If you are using this as a dry brush you will be able to enjoy the benefits longer than as wet. If you are using it wet then you will definitely see signs of built up residue on the bristles at the baseline after a short time. Enjoy!
