BITUMIN BRUSH 53500

BITUMIN BRUSH 53500 

The handle sits comfortably in the hand, the gripping material isn’t too thin and can sustain a good amount of pressure. Try and squeeze the handle. What you are looking for is strong resistance. Also, make sure the handle is smooth: Whether it is a wooden or a plastic handle, there should be no protruding or sharp bits as these can lead to hand injuries.

The bucket hook, too, should be strong and stable, as there is nothing more annoying than having to put down the pasting brush on the (trestle) table.

Bristles should be firm and securely fixed. Brushes that shed bristles are obviously no good when it comes to wallpaper. Feel free to give individual bristles or a tuft of bristles a good tug. In a good – or excellent – pasting brush, this will not loosen any bristles.

Your eye will tell you if the bristles are arranged densely and in a regular manner. If you find that individual bristles come off (in whatever direction), or stick out, stay well away as they are not fit for purpose.
