Dollar Store Brush Review. Painting With $1 Dollar Brushes.

What happens here

The presenter begins applying the dark latex paint to the ceiling line using the dollar store brush. Immediately, issues become apparent: the brush feels 'pretty stiff' and is 'not what I would want for this paint.' The stiffness makes it hard to maneuver and get into corners effectively. Furthermore, the brush does not hold a sufficient amount of paint, forcing the painter to re-dip frequently and preventing the creation of long, continuous lines. This severely limits efficiency and contributes to an uneven application.

Goal: The presenter attempts to cut in a ceiling line using the dollar store paintbrush, immediately encountering difficulties due to the brush's stiffness and poor paint retention.

What they say

Hide

so let's see how this thing performs it's pretty stiff right off the back so um not what I would want for this paint but here we go with the dollar store challenge I mean a flat brush a little hard to get in the corner but you can imagine there um white marks underneath it's not allow the paint to cover 100 but so right off the bat I notice it doesn't hold a lot of pain so I can't drag my line very far about one third of what I could with a good paintbrush
