In Response To: Foam Brushes (Steve)

I found the opposite. While tipping out the epoxy yesterday on my Guillemot's deck, the Jen Polybrush started to disintegrate leaving lots of little bits of foam in my finish. Up to that coat I had been using "made in china" Simms brushes without any problems, but had run out, and bought some of the "made in usa" Jen brushes. I went back to the"made in china" brushes and haven't had any problems since. I suspect the Jen brushes might be old and rotting, they came from a different store.
