Brush Mate Trade 20 Paint Brush Storage

The Brush Mate Trade 20 stores wet paint brushes used with oil based paints and varnishes, keeping them moist and pliable and ready for re-use without the need for washing them. The casing is a steel body with tightly fitting metal lid. Includes a 250ml bottle of fluid. The vapour produced from this fluid stops paint brushes hardening, so they're good to go whenever you need to use them again. Made in the UK

• Holds up to 20 paint brushes
• Prolongs the life of brushes, saving time, mess and money
• Brushes are suspended in vapour, not liquid
• Suitable for trade use. Not for use with water based paints

• After using a paint brush, suspend it on a hook inside the Trade 20. You can adjust the brush clips to create space between brushes. Use larger clips for fatter handles.

Give your Trade 20 an annual spring clean by replacing the vaporising panel and drip mat. These can be purchased as part of the Brush Mate Service Pack for Trade 20. As a reminder of when you last serviced your pack, write the date on a sticker on the side of the box.

Q. Why is the Brush Mate Trade 20 better for my brushes?

A. Storing wet gloss or varnish paint brushes in solvents or water can rust the ferrules, bend bristles and not thoroughly clean your brushes. The Trade 20 is a paint brush storage system that helps to keep paint brushes in optimal condition between uses, allowing them to be ready for immediate use without the need for cleaning.

Q. How does the Brush Mate Trade 20 work?

A. When a paint brush is placed inside the Brush Mate Trade 20 container, the vapour from the pads penetrates the bristles, keeping them soft and pliable. This prevents the paint from drying out and hardening on the brush, eliminating the need for cleaning between uses. The brushes can be stored in the container for an extended period without any adverse effects on their quality.

The Brush Mate Trade 20 is a convenient solution for professionals who frequently work with paint brushes and need to switch between multiple brushes or take breaks during projects. By using this system, they can save time on cleaning brushes and ensure that their brushes are always in excellent condition for the next use.
