💡 Best Used For: Preventive maintenance and light-to-medium damage repair. Regular use after cleaning keeps brush tips in shape longer – don't wait until they're completely ruined.

Step 1: Clean Thoroughly First
Wash the brush with brush soap, rinse completely, and pat dry with kitchen paper. The gel works best on clean bristles – it's not a substitute for proper cleaning.

Step 2: Apply a TINY Amount
Less is more. A small drop worked into the bristles is plenty. Too much gel makes the brush rock-hard when dry.

Step 3: Shape the Tip
Use your fingers to reform the bristles into a point. Draw the brush across your palm or between finger and thumb to shape it.

Step 4: Let It Dry Completely
Leave the brush to dry with the shaped tip. The gel sets and "trains" the bristles to hold that position.

Step 5: Rinse Before Painting
Before your next session, rinse the brush in water (with a little soap if needed) to remove all gel residue. Now it's ready to paint with.

⚠️ Common Mistake: Using too much gel. If your brush dries "cemented" solid, you used way too much. A tiny drop is all you need – the gel is concentrated.

✓ Reform Splayed Bristles: Brushes that have "exploded" outwards – especially drybrush casualties – can often be pulled back together into a usable tip.

✓ Restore Lost Points: Detail brushes that no longer form a sharp tip can often regain their point with one or two treatments.

✓ Preventive Maintenance: Used regularly after cleaning, it helps brushes maintain their shape longer. Prevention beats cure.

✓ Work on Natural & Synthetic: Kolinsky, sable, taklon, nylon – the gel works on all bristle types, including makeup brushes.

✓ Extend Brush Lifespan: Brushes that would otherwise be relegated to "terrain duty" can often return to regular use.

ℹ️ Rehabilitation, Not Resurrection
This gel is brilliant at bringing "tired" brushes back to usable condition. It won't turn your destroyed £2 synthetic into a brand-new Winsor & Newton Series 7. Set realistic expectations: light and medium damage responds well; severe damage is often beyond saving.

⚠️ Multiple Treatments May Be Needed
Some brushes need 2-3 cycles of treatment before showing significant improvement. Don't expect instant perfection from one application – be patient and repeat the process.

🎯 Best Results Come From Prevention
Use this regularly on brushes that are still in good condition, not just on damaged ones. A treatment every few weeks keeps tips sharp longer – waiting until a brush is ruined is too late.

🧼 Brush Soap: Clean first with brush soap, then apply repair gel. They're complementary products – soap cleans, gel shapes.

💼 Brush Case: Treat brushes with gel before storing in a protective case for long-term storage. They'll stay in shape until you need them.
