What happens here

The importance of using a variety of touch-up brushes with different sizes and types is emphasized. The speaker demonstrates that a large brush is unsuitable for small nicks, as it would leave noticeable brush strokes. Instead, a small artist's brush should be used for precise application on tiny imperfections, dabbing the paint rather than brushing it.

Goal: Select and properly use touch-up brushes for precise application.

You also have like I see you got a spray can over here and that's in your toolbox of touch-up stuff, right? Yeah. So, this is made with the lacquer that we're using on these cabinets. It's uh tinted to match that. And we get it um the same time we get the lacquer, they just mix it up in a couple of cans for us. And that way we can spray the face of them if there's a big nick or something like that where uh a brush is just going to show up no matter what you
