![]() I'm hooked on these Zachary brushes. They aren't expensive, some guy out of Richmond,BC imports them. One of those things that I've been using for years and know what the brush is going to do. Sort of like your Putter in the golf bag, screw getting a fancy, expensive putter just get to know one and trust it.
The BM store was out of Zachary the other week so I bought an Infinity....don't like it at all...waste of $26. Maybe I'll try that Wooster (firm)....I like all other systems by Wooster so far. |

![]() I love the Purdy 3 inch angled Pro extra glide even though when I first get them it seems they have a bit too much bounce in the bristles . I keep at least 4 or 5 of them on hand and slowly work them into my brush rotation , I'll use brand new ones for things like cutting in ceilings and things and get them a little dirty and comfortable feeling before I cut serious lines with them !

![]() Nour tradition 2 1/2 inches. I think these are Canadian made, you get them at Cloverdale Paint...
Less than $8 each and they work well for the XR4TI Crew! |

![]() Wow, I kept hearing good reviews for the Wooster Alpha. I went on Wooster's site to check it out and realized I have one and HATE it. Feels to springy and thick and doesn't come to a nice point. Maybe I just got a defect, but for walls I'll stick with the Benjamin Moore Extra Firm 647.
I stumbled on the Corona Excalibur a few years ago and LOVE it for trim: ![]()

![]() Well, I'm not in a position to answer that question directly mainly because I'm not sure yet. I will say I use both but I moved to the Silver Tip for the 2 1/2" angular and I rotate between the Alpha 4234 W 3" flat brush and the Alpha 4235 S 3" semi-oval depending on how many thousands of feet I need to cut and the variety of cutting. No question I can move paint with the 3" flat on ceilings but I tend to move the semi-oval better on trim, casings and baseboard - freehand of course but the difference in speed is minimal.

![]() I used to like the Corona Excaliburs, but have switched to cortez for walls and Vegas for trim. 2.5" sash either way. I did not like the Alpha at all. Looked good in the store, but does not lay down to a nice point or a straight line down the side of the brush. The silvertip pay become my new throw away (and possibly more brush) since it is cheaper than the cheap nylon plastic yellow handle wooster. For the $$, Silvertip sure seems nice. I think I will stock the exterior trailer with these for shutters and front doors. That way when MoorGlo leaves too much tint and alkyd in the brush it is not so bad to toss it.

![]() I found them to have the worst edge for cutting in of any brush I have tried. And I had high hopes for that brush.

I really like your choice of cut buckets. Where do you get those? They look like really high production items. It even looks like they sit at an angle so the painters don't waste any extra motion having to dip into the buckets a long ways. Does that cutting technique work on walls too? I guess I was trained all wrong. We found that flaring the tip of even a 6" wall brush left a smaller hatband profile than a loaded brush in a J shape. I wonder too, how well that technique works when cutting window sash. I like videos for training but am sometimes reminded of watching some of Ron Popiel repeating "Isn't that amazing" every fifteen seconds, followed by the 1-800 number 6-7 times. |

![]() Supply house gave me a Corona 3" Pro (China Bristle) brush. Paid $24.00. This brush is the biggest piece of S%$T i have ever used. Or maybe I'm a retard (No offense to the handicapped) Was this brush the right match? This brush shed so much it filled up my cloth. (2 of them) It was on my finish coat. The first time i use it shed (Not so Bad) 2 and 3rd time was ok. 4th time a complete disaster.
Any feed back. |
