Frequently Asked Questions

How wide is this wash brush?
The head is 50 mm across.

How is the 5626 series different from the 5625?
The 5626 has a long handle and black filament for easel work at a distance. The 5625 has a short handle and white filament for close table work.

Is synthetic better than natural bristle here?
For water based work, yes. Synthetic filament springs back and does not swell in water the way natural bristle does.

Can I use it to apply gesso?
Yes. The wide flat head lays gesso and primer evenly.
