Chip brushes have natural bristles, with wood handles set in epoxy. For use with resins, glues, acetone, and other solvents. Use chip brushes to clean parts, apply touch-up paint, paint trim, and many other boat, workshop, and household uses.
Check with the west system products, they make them for use with their epoxy.

I use these brushes for epoxy jobs all the time. I carry boxes of them on my sailboat. I also use them for other jobs like applying a gel rust remover. I use them because they are inexpensive so are used just once and thrown away. They do shed some bristles but this isn't an issue for these applications. When using them to apply epoxy I also trim the bristles with a pair scissors to make them stiffer.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Chip Brushes:
These are the best bet for laying up smaller areas or for gluing. I prefer them over foam type applicators because the deposit in a smoother more natural way than the foam (IMHO). NOT for Varnish and Finnish coats where higher bristle count and quality affect the result. I have used on "quick" projects where appearance and cleanup didn't warrant getting out the "good stuff".

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Chip Brushes:
Can be left in a container of Alcohol-based paint [ Bin by Zinsser for example ] for long periods of time. Once the brush has dried paint up around the top bristles, the bristles last for a long time in the alcohol. I have some that I have used for spot priming that are years old and I move them from can to can.

Thes chip brushes are excellent quality (for chip brushes) at a better than excellent price. At less than 75¢ each, they can't be beat. Great for when you want to get a job done quickly and don't want to spend time cleaning expensive brushes.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Chip Brushes:
These brushes are ideal for epoxy or polyester resin application. They are inexpensive enough to be disposable and stable enough to use for coating pieces. They are also suitable for laying down a base coat of paint or varnish, though be on the lookout for individual bristles which may pull out. I would not recommend these brushes for finish coat.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Chip Brushes:
I use the brushes repeatedly for applying alcohol based bin to wood and plaster/drywall surfaces to block stains. I leave the brushes in a can with some paint in the bottom, enough to keep the ends of the brush wet. Occasionally I add some denatured alcohol to keep the level in the can high enough to keep the ends of the brush wet. Because the bristles are natural they do not deteriorate for a long time when used in this fashion. I have at least two of these cans going at all times. Some of these brushes have lasted for at least 4 years being used this way. I buy them in bulk as I also use them for working with West Epoxy, in which case they are thrown away after use. They work very well for this purpose. I know of no other product that works so well with West products.

This is a sow's ear, not a silk purse. It is a most satisfactory, INEXPENSIVE brush. Five stars for doing what it is supposed to do quite well.
