: Hello again Dan,

: Thanks for the information on your technique. It would be nice to
: find solvent proof brushes, but that is unlikely here is
: Smithers. Where do you get yours? Next time around, I will see
: if I can order some online before I start the project.

: Mike mentioned earlier the bubbles left by using rollers, and the
: pinholes that can then result from sanding into them between
: coats. I used a foam roller when I tried this method, and it
: definitely left bubbles which are visible under magnification.
: Did you have this issue when you used the roll and tip method?
: Did you do anything in particular with your rolling technique to
: avoid bubbles? Perhaps your mohair rollers were more effective
: than foam on this issue.

: Thanks again for your advice,

: Best regards,

: Allan Edie

This doesn't work every time, but the foam brushes with the wood handles seem to hold up better than those with the plastic handles. There obviously are a whole bunch of companies making these brushes so not every brand works equally well. Those with the plastic handles though for some reason seem to fall apart quickly.
