Nice paintbrush for cutting in

Oct 15, 2009 4 Replies

I "accidently" (ie randomly first off the shelf in Homebase) bought a pack of these Harris Finesse brushes:

must say they are the best brush I've every had for cutting in emulsion.



They don't hold much paint but they bristles are formed into a razor sharp edge and never seem to splay despite the fact my idea of brush cleaning is use a hose.



I used to use masking tape to get a decent line betwixt wall and ceiling (with all the problems of risk of pulling paint off) but I can get a quite passable line with these and my hands are not that steady.

I prefer to put a picture rail up and paint down to that. With my walls a straight line up there is out of the question and, since the tape follows the wall, what chance do you have?

I got used to bend lines a long time ago.

But those brushes will cut to your picture rail nicely too. Anyway, I don't sell 'em - I was just pleasantly surprised that it was so nice to use I thought it worth a mention...

Synthetic bristle brush by the looks of it. I've got one somewhere and yes it is nice to use. I think I used it for gloss work but may well have used it for cutting in emulsion as well.

It is a synthetic brush - often a requirement of certain paints etc (eg, Sikkens for one).
