About Applicators:

     The most important part of a paint brush is the working end.Performance is based on the engineering of the filament,which you can not see but candefinitely experience.

       The filament and how it is finished or tipped affects the feel of the brush and the results you get.Every company guards their proprietary tipping methods,because they"re a big part of what makes each brand different.

       Finishing is an ever-changing technology that top manufactures strive to master in order to provide the best performance in today:s coating.

     Tapered filament helps paint flow for better coverage.It "pumps the paint"out and down to the surface.It also gives shape to the brush for precise cutting-in. Look at the brush edge-wise.if it comes to a point ,it also taper and will provide more control.

       Untapered or level filament reduces the price of the brush,but it also sacrifices capacity,coverage,and control.It wont"t release paint like tapered filament.If the thickness of a brush feels the same from base to tip,it is untapered.It lacks the performance of a brush with tapered filaments.

    Natural bristle is the best choice for oil-based paints,varnishes,shellac,alkyd enamels,oil stains,and oil-based polyurethanes.

    The highest quality comes from mainland China.It has the softest batural tipping and flexibility.Provide the smoothest finish with virtually no brush marks.

    Bristle is not recommended for latex or acrylic paints because it will absorb up to 40percent of its own weight in water.causing it to flare or become too soft to paint effectively.Also,rough surfaces will break the tip off natural bristle so it will no longer provide that smooth,glass-like finish.

    Nylon is five times more durable than bristle,so it is best to choose a synthetic,if you need more hard.
