Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3 inch paint brush used for?

A 3 inch brush is a general purpose size for painting and touch up work. It suits fascia, gutters, window frames, trim and edges, and it is a common width for cutting in around walls and ceilings before rolling. The width gives a good balance of coverage and control for most trade jobs.

Is this brush good for fascia and gutters?

Yes. Three inches is a practical width for fascia, gutters and barge boards because it covers the surface quickly while still fitting around corners and rebates. It is also a handy size for touching up cut ends and scratched areas on metal roofing and flashing.

What paint does this brush work with?

This is a white bristle brush (Phoenix/Camp WBB75), a practical choice for paints, primers and sealers on metal, timber and trim. If you are using a particular enamel, acrylic or oil based paint, check the brush with the paint or ask the store before starting.

How do I clean and care for the brush?

Rinse the brush in the recommended cleaner for the paint you used, work the bristles to remove the paint from the base, and reshape them before drying. Store the brush flat or hanging so the bristles keep their shape. A clean, dry brush lasts longer and gives a smoother finish next time.
