At the time of purchasing a brush, you shouldn't ignore the grip, how it feels in your hand. When painting, you may be holding that brush for a long time, so try a light weighted brush.

Painting brushes
1. Painting brushes
You cannot use the same brush for every project. particular one, the best for every situation. if
you are using an alkyd paint, or other oil base materials, you should only use brushes with
natural bristles. A Painting company in basking ridge explained that If you are using latex
paint, or other water-based materials, only use paint brushes with synthetic bristles. If you were
to use a natural-bristle brush with
latex paint, the bristles would soak
up the water and become limp.
There are also two different types
of synthetic-bristle brushes to
choose from - polyester and nylon.
Polyester brushes remain stiff in
water or heat. Acc to a Painting
company in basking ridge they also
keep their shape so well, that they
are great for doing detail work.
Nylon brushes don't wear down as
fast as polyester brushes, but a
disadvantage is that they don't
keep their stiffness as well in heat.
Apart from choosing what kind of paint you are using, you also need to find for what purpose you
are using the brush for. For example, when you are cutting in, use a large, flat brush. The bigger
the brush bristles are, the easier it is to draw a straight line, so a 4.5 inch brush will work well.
When you are painting a trim or molding, use an angular brush. Angles range from 1 to 3 ½
inches, but 2.5 is recommended.

Keep in mind that no matter what type of brush you need, always opt for a high-quality brush.
They may cost anywhere from $30 to $70 dollars depending on the type, but it's a miilion worth
affair. There is a big performance difference between a good quality brush and a cheap one.
