Wooster Brush 5222-1 1/2 Varnish Brush 1.5 Inches

Product Description

The WOOSTER BRUSH 5222-1 1/2 is a 1.5-inch varnish brush built for finish-coat work requiring precise leveling and smooth film formation. The filament is a white and silver chisel-trim polyester blend in a very soft formulation, designed to lay paint with a feather stroke and minimize brush marks. The brushed steel ferrule is rust-resistant, and the handle is birch hardwood. This brush is suited for professional painters, finishing carpenters, and cabinet shops applying high-solids or water-borne finish coatings.

The 5222-1 1/2 performs across a range of finish materials. It excels on enamels applied to metal surfaces and on varnish or polyurethane applied to wood. The soft polyester filament also handles lighter and thinner water-based coatings without overworking the film. The chisel trim allows clean cutting and edge work in tight areas. This brush is a practical choice for trim, cabinetry, furniture, and any finish application where a smooth, level surface is required.

Clean thoroughly after each use with the appropriate solvent or water based on the coating used to preserve filament integrity and brush life.
