SOLID ROUND TAPERED
Synthetic filaments can be used with water-based paints and oil-based paints. The best synthetic filaments are solid round tapered. Attamark offers brushes with solid round tapered Polyester filaments. The tapered filament means that one end of the filament is sharper than the other end.The tapered end allows the painter to paint without leaving brush strokes and gives shape to the brush for precise cutting-in.

If the thickness of a brush feels the same from base to tip, it is untapered. Find an Attamark brush and feel the difference.

VARIED FILAMENT LENGTHS
Attamark brushes are characterized by a blend of a great variety of filament lengths to allow the filaments to bend more gradually to increased brush pressure - allowing for finer control while painting.

CHISELED BRUSH
To create a chiseled brush, Attamark brushes go through a special setting process after the filaments have been secured onto the ferrules. By being chiseled, the Attamark brush helps you cut a sharper edge.

STRAIGHT EDGE
The top edge of the brush should have a uniformly straight edge. Ragged edges make it difficult to lay down paint evenly and to paint in a straight line. Because all of our brushes are handcrafted, we do our very best to ensure filaments on Attamark brushes line up straight.

FILAMENT RETENTION
Poor filament retention in the ferrule can cause a brush to shed filaments, which are deposited on the painted surface or left in the paint can

The bristles on Attamark brushes are not held by plain glue to the base. Attamark bristles are firmly secured in the ferrules with a solvent resistant epoxy resin which ensures that they do not shed.

All Attamark brushes go through a machine that combs the brushes so that any loose filaments are brushed off before being packaging.
