Tar Brush - Newman and Cole

These brushes are ideal for tough coatings like tar, bitumen, roof sealants, viscous coatings, and decking oils. They are also effective for applying ceiling paint and fence coatings.

While the soft bristles provide an even finish, they are primarily designed for heavier coatings. For very fine, detailed finishing with thin paints, a brush with finer bristles might be more suitable.

After using tar, clean the brush immediately with a solvent like mineral spirits or turpentine. Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry with bristles down.

Store the brushes in a cool, dry place. For best results, hang them bristles-down or use a brush guard to maintain bristle shape.

Yes, they are suitable for exterior applications like painting fences, sidings, and applying sealants to roofing and decking.

A pack of two provides a spare brush for future use or allows you to have one brush dedicated to specific materials (e.g., one for tar, one for paint) to avoid cross-contamination.

Ensure the brush was stored with bristles up or hanging. Soak bristles in a suitable solvent (as per care instructions) and reshape by hand. Allow to dry completely.

Ensure the coating is properly mixed and at an appropriate consistency. Check that the brush is clean and free of hardened material. Apply with consistent pressure and stroke direction.

This can sometimes occur with new brushes. Apply gentle pressure initially and clean the brush thoroughly after the first use. If shedding persists, ensure no loose bristles are present before application.
