Gamblin Gamvar Varnish Brush 50mm - Professional Paint Brush for Acrylic Varnish Oil Gesso Polyurethane and More! Vegan-Friendly Synthetic Bristles Ideal for Varnishing Interior and Exterior Projects

Smooth like butter. Works well with gloss. I really like it.

Honestly, not sure how much better this works than a brush with exact same characteristics but the truth was I didn't have a wide brush with similar bristles (had lots of bristle brushes which lost hairs onto my varnishing efforts). Deciding just to suck it up and get a dedicated varnishing brush intended for Gamvar I got this brush. Excellent. It applies the Gamvar easily. I know it's my dedicated brush for varnishing so I don't have to rummage through the brush collection each time I want to finish off paintings. I have small hands and this brush fits well and comfortably. I painting 5x10 foot oil paintings, so this is really a great size brush for my needs. AND I'm not finding lost bristles into my layer of varnish so it appears to be a well made item. If I take care of it--it should last me for a decent amount of time. Another great product from Gamblin!

Excellent brush to use with Gamvar for canvases up to 30x40. The size makes sure you that you go over all the surface area to evenly spread the varnish.

Great application brush for Gamvar

Easy to use and to clean after. Doesn’t leave any mark on the canvas.
