 | | Angle Sash Brush
|
These are the PERFECT brushes for cutting in walls to | | ceilings, walls to corners, walls to baseboards, and walls to chair rail or other molding. The angle provides the perfect tip-it will get a lot smaller than a typical wide brush without an angle- to make cutting in a breeze for amateurs and pros alike. It takes so much less time and you get such a perfect line from angle sash brushes that I won't cut in anything without one. Some professionals are able to cut in without tape using these brushes because they make such a nice line if you have a steady hand. If not, use tape and brush the edge along the tape line.
 | | Wide Wall Brush
| For those who love the look of a wall painted with a brush-and |
| | yes the look is different, you can see brush strokes-then use the widest wall brush that you can find. The greater the inches, the wider coverage as you paint. This equals less strokes for the painter on the wall. Wide wall brushes are also great for touching up spots that pop up on textured walls after the paint that was rolled on begins to dry. Wide wall brushes also work excellent for brushing on glazes or an additional color in strokes to add another dimension or texture to your wall paint.
 | | Trim Brush
| Trim brush come in a variety of sizes to accommodate |
| | painting the various sizes of crown molding or trim that is available on the market. Select a trim brush that is slightly smaller than the trim that you are painting to achieve the most perfect and accurate painting job.
 | | Caring for Your Brushes
| After you have finished painting, always clean your brushes |
| | immediately. If you use latex paints, rinse and clean in water. Use warm soapy water to get the brush completely clean. If clean your brushes. It might be necessary to use a wire brush to get all the oil based paint out of the bristles, then rinse with water. Let paint brushes dry completely, then store them in the same velcro close-cardboard package that they came in. Brushes can last years if cleaned & stored properly.
