Foam Brushes

Why use a foam brush versus a standard bristle paint brush? That’s a question people ask themselves all the time. The simple answer is you should use both. While using bristle brushes for larger areas and using foam brushes for cut-ins is a common use, foam brushes can be used for quite a few applications throughout the home, shop or workplace.

Foam brushes produce a smooth, brush-stroke-free appearance to your project when finished. A smooth appearance is desirable for many different projects like when working on furniture, cabinetry, trim, model work, metal work, indoor applications, outdoor applications and a whole lot more. Not recommended for use with shellac or lacquer applications.

If you’re a woodworker or have worked with wood projects, then you already know the value of having foam brushes on hand. Staining and varnishing wood is a fantastic way to use foam brushes. Simply dip the brush into the prepared stain and apply in even strokes or drizzle a little stain on the wood and quickly spread it in long, even strokes. A rag can be used to wipe off excess stain, or you can flip the brush over to remove excess stain.

Peachtree Woodworking Supply Foam Brushes

Many foam brushes available today all look the same. What separates these from the other brands is the poly foam brush quality, rigid plastic insert to keep the brush from flopping or buckling and the dowel style wooden handle. Most overseas brands have a cardboard of other absorbent material on the inside of the brush which breaks down very quickly and renders the brush useless. Our brush has a rigid plastic center that keeps the brush sturdy and makes paint or staining much easier and helps the brush last much longer than cheaper foam brushes. These brushes are MADE IN THE USA so you know you're getting a quality product.

Lasts longer because its made better...

Many of the other brands of foam brushes that are available are lined with a flimsy cardboard insert in the on the inside of the brush. Using cardboard makes the brush susceptible to absorbing to much moisture which essentially renders the foam brush useless after only one use. Our foam brush has a rigid, plastic center that won't absorb any moisture from stains or varnishes and last longer than most other foam brushes.

Chiseled Tip

These foam brushes have a chiseled profile to make getting into tight spaces much easier than standard bristle brushes. This also makes foam brushes ideal for touch up work on walls, baseboards and corners. This foam brush profile also works great for working on models and smaller projects where precision is needed.
