An oval loads heavy; dip and tap, and be aware the brush carries more than a flat, so unload the outside before you cut or it will run at the corner. Lead with the long point of the angle to draw the line, and let the body feed paint behind the tip. Cut long. The reason you are holding an oval is reach — draw the bead as far as the load cleanly allows rather than in short flat-brush strokes. Keep the wet edge moving on the long runs this brush is for. Clean to the heel — an oval hides a large heel where paint can dry and ruin the shape; wash a high-capacity brush all the way in, every time, or its reservoir becomes a solid block.
Asked before buying
BUYER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BEFORE YOU ORDER
Why an oval instead of a flat?
Capacity — an oval holds far more paint per dip, so it keeps a wet tip through long thirsty runs; the trade is a blunter line.
What filament is it?
Not specified in the available record — this guide does not claim one; confirm the fill before matching it to oil or latex.
What's the angle for?
So the oval's capacity can draw a cut line, not just lay off a field.
How is it different from the 80737?
Same Fat Boy oval body and 2-1/2" width; this one is angled (cuts a line), the 80737 is straight (lays off).
Is it a fine-finish brush?
No — it is a high-capacity production cutting brush; use a slim flat sash for showpiece lines.
