What paints does the Ultra/Pro Firm work with?

It is made for acrylics, latex and enamels, indoors and out. The firm blend suits walls, ceilings and masonry.

Is this brush good for cutting in?

Yes. The angled sash tip and firm bristles are designed for controlled cut-in along ceilings, corners and trim.

How does it compare with softer brushes?

It is firmer than soft natural-bristle brushes, so it gives more control and less sag. Softer brushes lay off finishes more smoothly but cut in less crisply.

What size is the brush?

It is a 3-inch angle sash brush with bristles about 3-3/16 inches long. The sash handle is shaped for a comfortable grip.

How should I clean it?

Rinse it thoroughly with the appropriate solvent for the paint used and comb the bristles straight. Proper cleaning keeps the blend firm for the next job.
