How about the relative merits of Foam brush versus Bristle brushes.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-
I use foam brushes for quick jobs with a lower quality bar. High quality bristle brushes provide higher quality finish in most if not all scenarios. These are the brushes that I use for most scenarios: https://amzn.to/2J6QOYC

Thank you
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.
How about a foam roller? It always gives me a smooth coat. Just put in a ziplock bag to keep it moist between coats
Are foam brushes okay for applying stain and lacquer?
Hi Mark,
Here is what our expert had to say: They should be ok for stain, but I believe that lacquer would melt them. I haven’t tried it, as I usually apply stain with a rag and lacquer with a spray gun.
