Redtree Industries 1 Inch Chip Brush, Natural Badger Style China Bristle, Marine Coatings
The Redtree Industries 1 Inch Chip Brush (part number 14012) is a hand crafted painting brush built for applying marine coatings, from bottom paints and top coats to urethanes, varnishes, and enamels. It is part of Redtree's complete line of brushes designed originally for marine industry applications, though it works well for general coating projects too.
This chip brush uses natural badger style china bristles with a hand formed chisel edge, giving painters better control at edges and corners while laying down a smooth, fine finish. The bristles are flagged for improved paint pickup and release, helping reduce brush marks with heavier marine paints and clear finishes. The brush handle is a pencil style clear wood handle, sized for a comfortable grip during detail and touch-up work.
At a 1 inch width, this chip brush suits smaller areas, trim, hardware, and touch-up coating jobs where a wider brush would be unwieldy. It is disposable-friendly for use with strong solvents and coatings that are difficult to clean out of brushes, making it a practical choice for one-off or messy painting tasks aboard a boat or in the shop.
