Jen Chiseled Foam Brushes - 48 Pack

I use them for varnishing mostly, No brush strokes or errant hairs in the finish, the foam does not fall off the handle or get soft half way through the job and they are strong enough for several uses. I just wrap in tin foil and freeze between uses. Also use them to tip when I roll on Awlgrip.

Foam brushes have their place, and as far as foam brushes go, these are much stiffer than the typical cheap quality ones you get at your local big box store or hardware store. They are a great value also when you buy them in these box quantities.

Very cost effective if bought by th box from Jamestown

i've tried them all and these are the best I've found. i use them primarily for good quality paint finishes and for very good varnish finishes. They are not expensive when buying by the box and can be reused a few times if you squeeze them out and place them in a plastic zip bag. i'll save my nice varnish brushes for the fussiest work.

Students use the sponge brushes when I'm doing Arts Integrated residencies in the classroom. Usually around 100+- students learn to recycle the brushes for re-use. The quality is very good, considering how many times they are washed. I also use Jen Foam brushes for my commissions. Art Form? Hand Painted Screens.

as opposed to lesser foam brushes, these don't fall apart. the cost savings of buying a box of these is substantial.

I have used Jen foam bushes for a long time on Schooner varnish, Awlwood, and primer and single part urethane coatingsl by Interlux. I have never had a problem with them, and feel I get a good coating with them.

I have been getting these for some time now and they are great.

I have some badger hair brushes, but I used the foam brush for a varnish job using epiphanes and a job using the 2 part Envy. The two products went on differently, but the foam brush gave a good finish on both. And unlike the badger hair brush, no clean up, just toss it. I tried the ""fooler"" bristle brush, but it did not outperform the foam brush and it left bristles in the work.

The brushes I received were not marked Jen Mfg., in fact there was no marking on them at all. The construction was completely different. JD would not take them back since ""I received what I ordered."" These are not the high quality Jen brushes JD has been selling for years.

We go through brushes like they're going out of style, so getting 3 boxes of the Jen foam brushes is exactly what we need! The quality is excellent and the price is great! We will continue ordering these brushes until they don't sell them anymore!

Don't waste your time with the cheaply made ones, these work so much better than the discount store variety. Used these for applying varnish, they allowed it to go on smoothly, cheap ones skipped, stuttered and left waves in the finish.

Ordered a ""box"" and received 36 loose brushes in my box of other products! Apparently the shipping department was using my brushes as packing material. I now have 6 one gallon ziplocks of brushes floating around in my painting supply dept. makes me cranky every time I see them.

These are much better than the cheap foam brushes you find in home improvement centers, and the price per brush is very low. I went through at least 60 of these building a 14 foot sailboat from a kit.

These are superior to the junk you buy at the big box stores. The foam holds up very well.

I used this brush to put varnish on the wood on my cabin doors. Left a smooth finish.

Much better quality than the cheap foam brushes usually found at big box stores. Great with latex paints. No clean-up, just toss.

I use brushes to paint small wooden toys and animals

Would love to have one that I can use with lacquer!

I use these brushes for rolling and tipping, they work great, hold up well and can be discarded after use, cutting down clean up time and use of chemicals.

Best price & quality I have found! Packaging is outstanding. I use these to finish bowls etc while turning on the lathe. Clean up material is too expensive to clean a bristle Brush.

These are the ""good"" throw away brushes. I've tried the cheapies and they do not even come close to a fine finish. I use these brushes through the whole project so I end up using less than the cheapies. Very good bargain.

I brush on and wipe off my stain and finish. These foam brushes are excellent for doing this type of operation. They last through the entire process.

what can you say about a spung brush other than it works and you can through it away.

Works well when several small items need to be finished. Just pick up a foam brush, apply athe finish and don't worry about clean up.

I am a fine artist who uses these foam brushes to apply glazes and washes to my work. I also use these in teaching classes. These are superior quality and (the best part), they are made in the USA, not China! Thanks for that.

Very good brush for putting finish on wood as it turns in the lathe, as well as a good price.

You can't beat the price per brush when you buy the 48 count box. I'm not even tempted to put the brush in the fridge overnight to use again ... just toss and get a new one tomorrow!

This brush holds togethermuch longer than ones I have been buying at the local ""big box"" store and the local hobby shops. It gets the job done long before I toss it. A great disposable brush!

I've tried tons of foam brushes over the years. These are the only ones I'll use at this point. I do all my varnishing with them. I used them for ""tipping"" some 2-part polyurethane this spring, and for tipping some interlux brightside. They worked great in both cases. And JD's price is the best I can find (given that I live in RI, so I can pick them up at the store). [@] might be cheaper for someone who had to pay for shipping. I order these by the box because one box of 2"" brushes takes care of all my brightwork (2 coats on each side of things like companionway drop-boards, coamings, etc., at home; 2 coats on the toerail and handrails at the boat) for about 3 years. One place they're not so great: bottom paint. Seems as if the solvent in Micron CSC, at least, tends to weaker the foam fairly rapidly. I still use them for those tricky spots like between the rudder and hull, where the roller won't go, but they tend to soften fairly quickly.
