RBO community, it is my pleasure to present to you our latest video covering our Professional Brushes and Epoxy Brush Cleaner. I have been working for months with our manufacturer and our OEM customers to develop and test these brushes. Much back and forth...

We offer 4 sizes, in 2 styles: #4Round, #6Flat, #8Flat & #10Flat. The multi diameter synthetic bristles are densely arranged glued and triple crimped for months of OEM use. The brushes are very affordable in singles, packs of 12 or a variety pack. Our Epoxy Brush Cleaner is not a solvent, nonflammable and doesn't evaporate. EBC is more like a soap, cleans the bristles without drying them out. In the video I attempt to show the difference between natural and synthetic bristles, so check it out:

I like flat brushes but so many of the ones you pick up cheap have a bad habit of shedding bristles. I have no doubt the FC models won't do that. Glad you guys are offering these.

I been using the #6F brushes since February and love em.
I've also been using the brush cleaner and REALLY love that.

I put small amount in a bottle and keep cleaning the brushes with it.
I'm not 100% sure when I need to throw out the old solution.

Chris

The EBC lasts a long time...

I definitely like the idea of disposing of the used EBC before it gets too dirty. A small amount (say 5-10cc) in a bottle or mixing cup should be able to clean a dozen or more brushes. To help with the life span of the EBC, thoroughly wipe the liquid epoxy with a paper towel first.

Thanks for posting!
