Vallejo Brush Restorer

The Vallejo Brush Restorer is an essential auxiliary product for artists and modelers who take care of their painting tools. Reference 28890 comes in an 85 ml bottle and is specially formulated to restore fine brushes used with water-based or acrylic paints. It brings back softness and the original shape of the bristles without using alcohol, which helps preserve the fibers. Perfect for reviving sable (Kolinsky) and synthetic brushes that have become stiff or misshapen after frequent use.

What Vallejo Brush Restorer 28890 Does

• Its specialized formula softens hardened bristles and removes dried paint residues trapped in the brush fibers.

• Restores the brush’s original shape, even when it has become deformed from long use.

• Safe for delicate brushes, including natural Kolinsky hair and synthetic ones.

• Alcohol-free formula, which prevents damage to internal adhesives, ferrules, or handle finishes.

How to Use Vallejo Brush Restorer

1. Clean the brush first to remove any fresh paint residues.

2. Immerse the brush (up to the ferrule if possible) in Vallejo Brush Restorer 28890 for several minutes.

3. Remove it and reshape the tip gently with your fingers to help it regain its form.

4. Allow it to air dry, laying the brush horizontally or with the tip slightly raised to avoid deformation.

5. Once dry, the brush should feel soft, flexible, and close to its original condition.
