Choosing the right paint brush for the jobCHOOSING the correct equipment for yourpainting job can be the difference between amediocre finish and a fantastic finish. Topqualitypaints not only give you easier andbetter coverage, but are longer lasting andeasier to clean than low-grade paints. Thereare many different types of brushes and rollersto choose from and various paintingtechniques. The following is a guide tochoosing and using painting equipment.SELECTING A BRUSHA professional-looking paint job is easier whenthe right brush is used. Avoid cheap brusheswith short bristles and insufficient bristle pack.Choose a brush made of full-length finequalityhog bristles.Quality bristles provide more efficient pick-upand steady release (lay-off) of paint, resultingin a more even, streak-free finish. A goodbrush should feel full and slightly resilient.The right brush for the paint:■ Heavy, oil-based gloss and paints, primersand varnishes require a medium bristle length,solidly packed brush for effective control.Brush the final coat on lightly with the bristletips to achieve an even no-streak finish.■ Acrylic (water-based) paints are bestapplied with a longer bristle brush. New to themarkets are synthetic filament brushes idealfor use with acrylic paint. These long-lastingbrushes wash up easily and give a smoothfinish. Be sure to wash out drying paintforming at the heel of the brush - especially inhot weather.■ When applying wood stain to rough-sawnsurfaces, use a shorter bristle brush.■ For staining fine surfaces, always use abetter quality brush.BRUSHES AND THEIR USES■ 12mm-25mm: Best for small jobs andtouch-up work such as toys, chairs and timbertrim.■ 38mm: Suitable for furniture, small panels,window frames, trellis, mouldings andshutters.■ 50mm: For small to medium-size work —doors, screens, table tops, railings andcabinets.UNDER OFFERCAFÉ INN-DULGENCE$<strong>24</strong>0,000 + S.A.V.● A reputation for great food and great coffee● Strong regular clientele base● Adjoining multi-screen cinema and 2 largecarparks● Modern, spacious and clean with alfrescodining area● Well equipped large kitchen and counterareasDETAILS: Ian Grey0418 143 848DEVONPORT$<strong>24</strong>9,500● Large brick home perfect for the larger family● 4 large bedrooms plus study, ductedheating system● Double garage for the vehicles, plenty ofstorage● Fantastic area, walking distance to schoolsand shops● Ensuite, extra parking and great outdoorentertainment areaADDRESS: 1 Valley Road, <strong>Devonport</strong>DETAILS: James Leslie 0418 547 015DEVONPORTUNIT 4 - $229,000,UNIT 1 - $239,000●Ideal for Home Owners and Investors●Quality Sandstone Brick 3 Bedroom Stand aloneVilla Units●Tiled roof, Aluminium Window & Fully insulatedfor comfort & low maintenance●Fully fenced for privacy, fully paved driveway &courtyard ideal for a small pet●Open plan living with stylish décor, floor coverings& dream kitchen●Unit 4 - Newly Leased, Ideal for Investors.
