Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the filament round and tapered?

Round, tapered filament splits naturally at the tip, which lets the brush carry a full load of paint and release it evenly across the stroke. That is what produces the smooth, streak free finish the Smooth Coat range is named for.

Is this brush good for gloss and enamel?

Yes. It is listed as ideal for water based paints including aqua enamels, which are the hard wearing gloss finishes used on trims and doors. The synthetic filament lays these paints down flat without brush marks when used properly.

Why does it come with a storage sleeve?

The cardboard sleeve protects the filament when the brush is in a bag or a toolbox, stopping the tips from splaying. It is reusable, so slide it back on after cleaning and the brush stays in shape for the next job.

What size work suits a 50mm brush?

The 50mm width is a good trade size for cutting in walls, painting architraves and covering narrow trims and panels. It sits between the finer sash brushes and the wider general purpose brush.

How do I get the smoothest finish?

Load the brush by dipping about a third of the filament, tap off the excess, and lay the paint on with long, even strokes. Finish each section with a light pass in one direction so the round tapered filament leaves a flat surface.

Can this brush be used with solvent based paint?

Yes. The synthetic filament handles both water based and solvent based paints, though it is listed as ideal for water based paints and aqua enamels. Clean it with the correct thinner after use.
