Product Information
Full details
The Purdy Syntox Angled Woodcare Brush (50mm) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking an ultra-smooth, polished finish on wood projects. Its key benefit is delivering a gloss that rivals professional polishing, achieved through bristles mimicking natural ox-hair but offering five times the lifespan. A potential caveat is its specialized design for clear finishes, which may not be optimal for opaque paints.

FAQs
What type of finishes is this brush best suited for?
The Purdy Syntox Angled Woodcare Brush is best suited for clear finishes like stains, varnishes, and oils, including both water-based and solvent-based formulations.
How does the lifespan of this brush compare to natural hair brushes?
The synthetic bristles are designed to last up to five times longer than natural ox-hair brushes, offering enhanced durability.
Can I use this brush for painting walls?
While versatile, this brush is specifically designed for smooth, clear finishes on wood. For general wall painting, a brush with different bristle characteristics might be more suitable.
How should I clean the brush after using a solvent-based finish?
After removing excess paint, rinse the brush thoroughly in a suitable solvent (like mineral spirits) and then wash with soap and water. Ensure all solvent and paint residue is removed before drying and reshaping.
What is the advantage of the angled head?
The angled head provides better control and precision, allowing for easier application in tight corners, around details, and along edges.
Will this brush leave visible brush strokes?
The synthetic bristles are engineered to create an ultra-smooth, polished finish with minimal to no visible brush strokes when used correctly with clear finishes.
Troubleshooting
Brush leaves streaks or uneven finish.
Ensure the brush is properly loaded with finish and that you are using consistent, long strokes. Check that bristles are clean and free of dried paint. Consider a test application on scrap wood.
Bristles are stiff or splayed after cleaning.
Thoroughly rinse the brush with the appropriate cleaner and warm water. Gently reshape the bristles while damp and allow to air dry completely. Proper cleaning and storage are crucial.
Excessive paint loading on bristles.
Wipe excess paint off the sides of the brush on the can rim before application. Avoid dipping the brush too deep into the finish.
