5 ESSENTIAL Paint Brushes.

What happens here

For interior cut-in work around doors, windows, and ceilings, a blended bristle brush is ideal. The Premier Montauk, a TyneX/Orel firm blended bristle brush, is recommended. Modern interior paints tend to be thicker due to environmental regulations, and a firm blend brush makes it easier to manipulate the paint for precise cutting-in. Dupont bristles (like TyneX) are preferred because they absorb less water than nylon or polyester, allowing them to hold their shape and stiffness longer, and they are also easier to clean.

Goal: Opt for firm blend synthetic brushes, specifically TyneX/Orel, for interior cut-ins around architectural features, as they handle thicker modern paints and maintain their shape better.
