Product Information

For about three months, I used these brushes solely for emulsioning and found them to hold up beautifully. After this, I used them with gloss and eggshell finishes and was delighted to see that they delivered a perfect finish each time. Another reason I have a soft spot for the Wooster Gold Edge is its durability. I’ve found that these brushes are real workhorses that stand up to daily use throughout the year. Now let’s chat about the Arroworthy Finultra which is a very solid brush. Using it is a breeze and cutting in almost feels like it’s doing the work for you. Furthermore, this brush holds plenty of paint and delivers razor-sharp lines, all while being comfortable to hold. Complex Shapes and Corners: Any area that requires precision and attention to detail can benefit from a sash brush. This includes areas around light switches, outlets, door frames, and decorative molding. It’s soft, holds a fair amount of paint, and can handle any water-based finish. A worthy addition to any toolkit, this one. 5. Axus Onyx Cutter Brush

Be sure to wash right down to the base of the brush so you clear all the paint, then simply dry with a clean rag or towel and hang it up to dry.

To make your professional Monarch paint brush lasts as long as possible, it is important to follow these key steps to take care of them. However, be warned: always wash these brushes with cold water. Hot water can weaken the glue holding the bristles in place. If you do this, the Wooster Gold Edge brush is truly an exceptional tool, offering a blend of precision, durability, and a comfortable grip. 4. Arroworthy Finultra In terms of comfort, the Purdy XL Elite scores highly. Its ergonomic design ensures extended use doesn’t result in aching hands.

Among the paintbrushes that have impressed me, the Prodec Ice Fusion certainly stands out. These brushes are a testament to quality and durability, and unlike others I’ve used, they don’t shed bristles, which is a significant plus. I tend to use pretty cheap brushes for my panel lining, replacing them as the solvents destroy the brushes. I’m sure it’d be easier with nicer brushes but using oils, thinners and enamels really shortens the life of a paint brush. For panel lining a size one or two watercolour or acrylic-style brush will have enough of a belly to hold a reasonable amount. It is worth mentioning that I have noticed a slight drop in quality over the years. The brush sometimes loses a few bristles during washing, presumably due to changes in their manufacturing process about 15 years ago. Nevertheless, the issue is minor and doesn’t detract from the brush’s overall performance. I don’t want to assume too much here, so I want to briefly cover actually removing pieces from the runners and getting them ready for assembly. Other tutorials might advocate washing the runners with warm soapy water and then thoroughly rinsing them, but I feel like this is more of an optional step and I’ve personally never hit any issues not washing my plastic kits before assembly. The only exception here is if they’ve been left exposed and have gathered dust.

Featuring soft, synthetic heads, use these brushes with emulsion and they will hold the paint well, minimising mess and guaranteeing a good, even finish. The Axus Décor 1.5in Precision Angled Cutter Brush has been designed with this specific task in mind. Featuring a blend of synthetic filaments, tapered for releasing paint evenly onto the surface, the angled taper of the brush is what makes it ideal for finer detail, keeping the paint on the wall where it belongs and not making a mess of anything it shouldn’t. Durability – Durability is, of course, an important consideration before buying a cutting-in brush. You’ll want something that keeps its shape after multiple washes and doesn’t lose bristles over time. In terms of price, the Ice Fusion brushes are half the cost of some of their competitors, like Purdy, and they deliver just as superior a performance. They work well with all kinds of paint and are particularly effective in delivering smooth finishes with oils.

Tools

In this guide I’m going to be covering my approach to adding some extra flavour and detail to your Gunpla kit. I got my start with an MG Barbatos, which is a phenomenal build, but at this point it’s still clean. Barbatos won’t be the only kit I’ll be using in this guide, as I’ll also be covering techniques for colour correction and custom paint jobs. If you’re like me and video tutorials aren’t really your thing, then hopefully I can give you some insight in to my approach. And I’d like to reiterate here, this is just my approach. There’s a huge variety of ways and tools to add extra detail to your Gunpla kit based on what you have available. Tools A sash cutter brush, often referred to simply as a "sash brush," is a type of paintbrush that has a slanted or angled bristle tip. The design of this brush allows for more precision, making it particularly useful for cutting in or edging work when painting. Here's what a sash cutter brush is typically used for in wall painting: To sum up, the Purdy XL Elite is a superb cutting in brush, striking a perfect balance between price, performance, and durability. Once broken in, I genuinely believe there’s no better cutting in brush out there. It might have a few minor issues, but they’re far outweighed by its positives. 2. Prodec Ice Fusion The bristles strike an ideal balance between soft and firm, contributing to a beautiful finish. The handle is comfortable, and designed for prolonged use without causing hand fatigue.
