About Applicators:

The most important part of a paint brush is the workingend. Performance is based on the engineering of the filament, which you can’tsee but can definitely experience.

The filament and how it is finished or tipped affects thefeel of the brush and the results you get. Every company guards theirproprietary tipping methods, because they’re a big part of what makes eachbrand different.

Finishing is an ever-changing technology that topmanufacturers strive to master in order to provide the best performance intoday’s coatings.

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

Untapered or level filament reduces the price of thebrush, but it also sacrifices capacity, coverage, and control. It won’t releasepaint like tapered filament. If the thickness of a brush feels the same frombase to tip, it is untapered. It lacks the performance of a brush with taperedfilaments.

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 hasthe softest natural tipping and flexibility. Provide the smoothest finish withvirtually no brush marks.

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

Nylon is five times more durable than bristle, so it’sbest to choose a synthetic brush for paint rough surfaces—even when usingoil-based paints.
