Choose the Right Brush
admin • July 13, 2012
When you’re working on a painting project, details such as choosing the right brush can make an impact on the results. Let’s take a look at what you should consider:
Will you be using oil-based materials ? Then natural bristle brushes will do your best work, as they give a smooth coating.
If it’s water-based materials , go for a brush with synthetic filaments . Why? These types of brushes won’t soak up excess moisture the way natural bristles do.
Don’t make the mistake of using the wrong brush! In general you’ll find that stains, lacquer and varnish are oil-based products.
