Do expensive paint brushes make a difference?

Some more expensive brushes have bristles of varied lengths, resulting in a tapered edge for detailed work. Some brushes have little split ends, called “flagged,” that help spread the paint even more smoothly. And the thicker the brush, the more paint it will hold. That means better coverage and less work for you.

How do you make paint brushes straight?

To straighten out the bristles on brushes, use a tiny amount of Vaseline. It works like a dream (but better on small brushes than larger ones where it’s hard to wash out the Vaseline when you want to use the brush). Tip from: Julie. Tissue paper works very well for unbending your benders.

Are cheap paint brushes worth it?

Trying to save money by purchasing an inexpensive paint brush will cost you more in time and frustration than it’s worth. Also, the finish of your work paint work may look poor and unprofessional. Cheap paint brushes can still be used for application of glues and some paint projects that do not require a fine finish.

Do you wet a paint brush before painting?

Before using a paint brush, it should be pre-wetted with water if a latex paint is being used, or mineral spirits for an oil base paint. The excess liquid should then be removed, leaving the brush damp but not wet. This step will help the paint transfer better to the surface, and make it easier to apply.
