Hi Amr,
We consulted some mounting masters and their suggestion is that you can boil the entire brush. However, I also heard that some people feel the brush would get a bit too soft after being boiled. Some people like it soft while some people prefer it a bit harder. It is a bit personal. There is no strict timing on the boiling process. Maybe you can check it frequently while boiling it?
And, the palm brush might have too much ‘dust’ *small bits of fibers. Normally the higher grade, the less small fibers would fall out. The small ‘dust’ can be very annoying when you use it to mount. Therefore, if you feel there seems to be endless small fibers falling out even after you have boiled the brush, you can use the brush for other purposes for a while. Other purposes can include use the brush to clean table, carpet, etc. Because this will help ‘polish’ the brush in a natural way. In the end, the brush will become ‘cooperative’. 🙂 Again, this can be different from people to people.
We would recommend you to apply different extra steps when you feel necessary. If you take very good care of the brush, a high quality brush can endure for 10 years or even more. The longer the better it can become.
