2 Best Cut In Paint Brushes. A Paint Brush The Pro's Use.

What happens here

The presenter introduces 'The Hampton' brush, distinguishing its characteristics from The Brooke. This brush is composed of 100% Tynek nylon, a softer DuPont filament. Its softer bristles make it particularly well-suited for applying paint to interior trim, including door jambs and window sills. The softness is key to preventing 'roping'—an undesirable effect where paint builds up and forms ridges—which can occur when a stiffer brush is used with thinner, lower-viscosity paints often found in trim applications (e.g., Sherwin Williams Cashmere). The Hampton is designed to deliver a smoother, more even application with these types of paints.

Goal: The Hampton brush, made of softer 100% Tynek nylon, is recommended for brushing trim, particularly with thinner paints, to prevent 'roping' and achieve smooth finishes.

absolutely amazing so i'm going to talk about a little bit about the hampton brush the hampton is a little bit different it is a dupont filament brush also so the brook is a dupont blend so it's tynex and oriole which is nylon in polyester it's dupe it's dupont's proprietary um make of those filaments and why is dupont even better anyways why is it the best filaments in the world one of the good things and good qualities about dupont filaments is they don't absorb water as fast as um lesser quality filaments of nylon and polyester and where the what why that even makes a difference is the more water the filament absorbs and the faster it absorbs it it begins losing its stiffness and then it's just not going to cut in once the brush starts to get too soft it's not going to cut in very well now the hampton is a it's not a blended brush it's all tinex which is dupont's um proprietary blend um or proprietary filament of nylon and it's a lot softer than the brook and if i was going to try to do cut-ins i'd probably struggle doing cut-ins with a softer filament brush with thick paints you may run into some really thin paints um surewim's cashmere is really thin and if your paint is thin you probably want not as stiff of a brush because what happens is it starts to rope the paint a little bit too much and you might want a little bit softer brush to do cut-ins with a really thin brush but across the board i really like a firm brush for all my cut ends but i do like the hampton when it comes to brushing trim so if i'm doing any brushing of trim if i got to brush door jambs window sills anything i really like a soft filament brush because it's less likely going to rope your trim and most most paints for
