Common questions
Latex or oil?
Both per Hyde, but its strength is water-based. For a fine oil finish use the Extra flats.
47531 or the 3" Extra 47382?
Water-based or mixed work: the 47531. Oil enamel, varnish or oil stain on furniture: the 47382.
What does flagged mean?
The filament tips are split into finer points, so the brush holds more paint and releases it smoother.
Is it a good exterior brush?
Yes. It is rated for interior or exterior. 3" suits trim boards, fascia and doors in latex.
