Product Information

Full details

This 2.0-inch Purdy Syntox Angular Paint Brush is designed for DIYers and professionals seeking a superior finish on all clear coats, stains, and varnishes. Its key benefit lies in the Syntox filaments, offering the smooth application of ox-hair with significantly increased durability and longevity. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, making it best suited for clear finishes rather than all paint types.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of finishes can I use with this brush?

This brush is ideal for all clear finishes, including water-based and solvent-based stains, varnishes, and oils.

How does Syntox compare to natural Ox-Hair?

Syntox filaments provide similar application benefits to ox-hair but are designed to last up to five times longer and are 20% softer than ox-hair, offering an ultra-smooth finish.

Can I use this brush for latex or oil-based paints?

This brush is optimized for clear finishes. While it might be used for very thin paints, it is not recommended for standard latex or oil-based paints, as it may not provide the best results or could be damaged.

How do I clean the brush after use?

For water-based finishes, use warm water. For solvent-based finishes, use mineral spirits or lacquer thinner. Always rinse thoroughly with soap and water, reshape, and air dry.

What is the benefit of the angular shape?

The angular shape provides greater precision and control, making it excellent for cutting in edges, corners, and detailed trim work.

What does 'shed-resistant' mean for this brush?

It means the brush is manufactured with high-quality filaments and construction to minimize the chance of individual bristles breaking off and getting into your finish.

What is the purpose of the rattail handle?

The long, natural wood rattail handle provides enhanced grip and control, allowing for precise maneuvering, especially during detailed or intricate painting tasks.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are shedding excessively

Ensure the brush is clean and free from dried material. Gently flex the bristles; if shedding persists, the brush may be nearing the end of its usable life for fine finishing or may have been damaged. Inspect for any damage to the ferrule.

Uneven finish or streaks

Check that the brush is properly loaded with finish. Ensure consistent pressure and direction during application. Clean the brush thoroughly and reapply finish, focusing on a smoother, more uniform stroke.

Brush feels stiff or hardened

This indicates dried finish material. Clean the brush immediately with the appropriate solvent or water, depending on the finish used. If the material is fully dried, it may be difficult to fully restore flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers an exceptionally smooth finish on clear coats.
  • Significantly longer lifespan compared to natural bristle brushes.
  • Versatile for use with both water and solvent-based clear finishes.
  • Reduced bristle shedding for a cleaner painting experience.
  • Offers excellent control for detailed work due to its design.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for clear finishes; may not perform optimally with all types of paint.
  • Syntox filaments, while durable, are a specialized material.
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain performance, like any quality brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The brush is ready to use out of the package. Ensure no loose bristles are present before starting your project.

Compatibility: This brush is specifically designed for all clear finishes, including oil-based and water-based stains, varnishes, and lacquers. It is not recommended for heavy-bodied paints.

Care: To maintain the brush's performance and extend its life:

  1. For Water-Based Finishes: Rinse immediately with warm water, remove excess water, and reshape the bristles. Allow to air dry.
  2. For Solvent-Based Finishes: Clean with the appropriate solvent (e.g., mineral spirits or lacquer thinner). Rinse thoroughly with soap and water, remove excess, reshape, and air dry.
  3. Storage: Store the brush bristle-side up or hung to prevent deformation.
