Richard Tools 80833 Flexible Soft Grip Review

It takes a bit of practice to use a big finishing brush (main thing after dipping is scraping all the paint off the sides so the paint is just in the brush ). But a larger brush gives a smoother surface and covers a larger area, so it's worth learning how to use. This brush has fairly soft bristles and you can cut a nice line with it. Shorter brushes make it harder to get straight lines...longer bristles absorb some of the tremor in the brushstroke. I haven't even tried putting it on a pole and

What can I say. It's now a staple in my arsenal. I'm a union decorator. I do all the fancy painting work in old theatres, capitals, cathedrals etc. Sometimes there are things that are very difficult to come by where scaffolding just won't fit. When I used this in Kalamazoo, Michigan on a canopy I had forged in Carrara, there was an area on the roof that just wasn't accessible. That helped. Attempts to visit with the heavy metal brush clip were too talkative for me. Converts this into a…

My husband had to laugh at me because I walked around the house with this brush and said "I LOVE IT!" while cleaning the baseboards. It does a great job with the beveled areas of our doors too…

Ignore those who complain about the bristles being soft! The soft bristles make it possible. I could fall easily. I've never been good at that. It simply glides across the surface leaving a perfectly straight line. The bristles feel like soft nylon material. I don't have the sturdiest hand for my age so it was difficult to use at height but I figured it out after a while.
