A wallpaper brush is normally used to smooth the wallpaper on the wall when wallpapering. Brush over the wallpaper to smooth it out and avoid bubbles and creases. Work up and down and from the center out to the sides. Wash the brush in water after use to keep it soft.
The wallpaper brush can also be used for grain painting. It is ideally suited to the “long straw” technique, a kind of simple striped grain that makes the stained surfaces slightly, slightly striped, much like knotless wood. This technique is commonly used on beadboard, linings and moldings (however, cores, flaming, etc. are usually painted, especially on door mirrors, to more accurately imitate real wood).
