How many times have you thrown away an expensive scenic brush because:A) The Ferrule Split, B) The Handle Came Off, C) The Brush Fell Apart?
We have solved the problem!
The Gerriets/Grossmann Scenic Brush System uses only CHUNGKING CHINA BOAR BRISTLE to manufacture professional scenic brushes. Chungking bristle is renowned for its stiffness, excellent shape holding quality and long life. Each long, natural bristle is tapered and has a flagged (split) end to help it hold a full charge of paint. Bundles of bristles are shaped to desired form and are then set into SOLID EPOXY FILLING A STAINLESS STEEL FERRULE. A threaded bolt, of either nylon or stainless steel, is also embedded and centered in the ferrule. Each Brush head can be securely attached to one of three handles described below. In addition to the brushes shown, we offer a selection of Lay-In/Broom Brushes with Bristle lengths from 2.5" - 3.7" x 2" - 4" wide x 4" - 10.2" long.
