The Store and Go gel is designed to allow you to store your brush without cleaning it. You can use the gel for even longer with a few simple tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the Store and Go storage gel work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, wipe off any excess paint from the edge of your paint tin or liner. The advanced gel seals the brush hairs so well that the brush does not dry out and the hairs remain flexible. You will notice that over time, the remaining paint can sink into the gel, causing it to become slightly more contaminated each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean your brush as much as possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you first clean the brush in Clean and Go, even less paint will leak and the gel will stay clean longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air it out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the gel becomes more liquid after extensive use, you can expose it to the air for a while to allow it to thicken, or you can add some new gel. If this does not work, it is time to replace the gel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t use it every day, we recommend airing the gel regularly to prevent a damp environment from developing under the lid. If you store the brushes in the gel for a long time in a warm place, it is advisable to make a small air hole in the lid or not to seal the lid completely to prevent condensation. This will keep the gel usable for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
