Introduction

A paint brush ferrule detaching from the ferrule is a common issue, often times due to washing your brush out in hot water. This causes the glue that holds the ferrule to the handle to soften or melt.

If your paint brush has been rendered useless due to a detached ferrule, this guide will help you restore your brush into working condition.

1. Step 1 Ferrule
