Badger Hair brushes are ideal for bottom paint, varnish and high-gloss marine coatings. Badger brushes have a brushy appearance as the hair is cone shaped, thick near the tip and thin near the root. Badger hair is somewhat stiff even in longer lengths. Most badger-hair brushes have a fan or round shape with a flat top for blending.

Best I've used for varnish

By Dave

from San Diego, Ca on 8/28/2008

Pros:

Even Paint Distribution

Best Uses:

Detailed Work, Large Areas

Describe Yourself:

Do-It-Yourself

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The thing I like most about these brushes is that I can apply a complete brush stroke from top to bottom on a 6' cabinet. This eliminates the transition caused by refilling the brush half way through each stroke.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These brushes are absolutely SUPERB! I have used exactly ONE 1.5" badger hair brush to varnish ALL the exterior teak (comanionway boards, coaming, winch pocket surrounds, folding cockpit table, ten-loop S&P handrails, and all the hatch cover surrounds) on my 30 ft sailboat. I have now finished six coats and intend to apply two more! The result is absolutely FABULOUS! Brush marks in the varnish disappear in 15 seconds, there are ZERO issues with air bubbles, and except for a few hairs coming off on the very first coat...there have been ZERO since. The brush applies varnish like silk, cleans easily and is soon ready for the next application. I will NEVER use anything but a badger hair brush for varnish again.

Badger Brushes

from Bossier City, Louisiana on 5/5/2008

Pros:

Ergonomic Grip

Best Uses:

Large Areas

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the first time I have used a badger hair brush for refinishing, and I will not ever be without one, for applying high quality finishes. Not one air bubble in 10 liters of varnish application, dropped a few hairs when new but after several uses not a one!
