Red Tree Industries Onyx Natural Bristle Paint Brush, 2-1/2 Inch, Fine Finish Chisel Edge

The Red Tree Industries Onyx paint brush, part number 12043, is a 2-1/2 inch fine finish brush built for smooth, professional results with solvent-based coatings. The bristles are 100% white China bristle, a natural bristle prized for its ability to hold and release finish evenly, reducing brush marks and streaking on enamels, varnishes, urethanes, lacquers, and shellac. Each bristle is set in epoxy at the ferrule to ensure the bristles stay secure through repeated use and cleaning, and the brush is hand trimmed to a chisel edge for precise cutting-in along trim, hardware, and detail work.

The handle is a beaver tail style hardwood handle, shaped for a comfortable, controlled grip during extended finishing work. The bristle pack measures 2-1/2 inches wide by 2-3/4 inches long by 5/8 inch thick, and the overall brush measures 9-1/4 inches long. This brush is suited to woodworking, boat brightwork, furniture finishing, and any project calling for a fine natural bristle brush with solvent-based products.
