2. Begin applying the paint to the surface with smooth, even strokes.
3. Start from the top of the surface and work your way down to prevent drips and runs.
4. Use the tip of the brush for corners and edges for precision painting.
5. Re-dip the brush in paint as needed, but avoid excessive paint on the brush.
6. Allow the first coat to dry thoroughly before applying a second coat if necessary.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Clean the brush immediately after use to prolong its life.
2. Rinse the brush in water (for water-based paints) or use an appropriate solvent (for oil-based paints).
3. Gently remove any excess paint by pressing the brush against the side of the container.
4. Wash with soap and water until the brush is clean.
5. Reshape the bristles and hang the brush to dry.
