It seems that most brushes on the market today are synthetic. I eventually discovered that "China Bristle" brushes are natural bristle but, finding chisel-tipped varieties has been difficult. Can you suggest a source where I can get chisel-tipped, natural bristle brushes? Thank you.
I'd heard the reason not to use a natural bristle brush for water-based finishes, is because the bristles will absorb the water and swell. I don't know if this is true, but there result is the same - polyester for water-based paint and finish.
Are foam brushes okay for applying stain and lacquer?
How about a foam roller? It always gives me a smooth coat. Just put in a ziplock bag to keep it moist between coats
I would like to add a brush to your list. TAKLON. Not your Home Depot brush. Got mine from homestedfinishingproducts.com. The finish is like it was sprayed on. No brush marks. I would not want to try to paint the house with it, but I did do a door frame. George, maybe you would want to review some of homested's products.
