What happens here

When using a Chinax filament brush, such as the Premier Riverdale model, for exterior trim, understand its characteristics. Chinax filaments, specifically DuPont filaments, are known for their quality. While they may not load and unload paint as effectively as Tynex or Orel blends used for interiors, they are highly durable and clean up very easily. This easy cleanup is a significant advantage, especially with exterior paints that dry quickly. These filaments also maintain their stiffness, allowing for sustained cutting-in for longer periods without absorbing water and becoming limp.

Goal: Utilize DuPont Chinax filament brushes effectively for exterior trim.

What they say

see I'm using Premier's Riverdale paint brush to paint the trim. The Riverdale is a Chex filament brush. I do use a 3-in angled sash. 3-in gives you the ability to just, you know, have more paint, uh, cut in farther, um, stretch your paint out longer. Angled sash gives you the ability, the the filaments being angled to be able to get into points, cut in, you know, better in my opinion. Some people like flat, but I prefer angled just about on everything. So, those are the the tools I'm using. I always use a a two gallon cutting bucket, too, with a gallon screen. So, that's what I'm cutting in with. Chex filaments. Um, they're not great for the inside cuz they don't load up and unload paint. You can't cut in as far, but paints with all your exterior paints these days on the outside, they dry really fast. They have a lot of chemicals in them. Riverdale Chinx
