Product Information

I’ve used it a few times with emulsion and it’s done a sound job every time. It holds a good bit of paint, cuts in neat, and leaves no brush marks to complain about. The bristles have a nice stiffness to them, so if you don’t get along with cutting in brushes that are too soft, this one could be right up your street. The standout feature of this brush is its paint-holding capacity. It’s surprisingly high, allowing for fewer dips and longer strokes, saving you precious time on your painting projects. Another reason I have a soft spot for the Wooster Gold Edge is its durability. I’ve found that these brushes are real workhorses that stand up to daily use throughout the year.

In terms of price, the Ice Fusion brushes are half the cost of some of their competitors, like Purdy, and they deliver just as superior a performance. They work well with all kinds of paint and are particularly effective in delivering smooth finishes with oils. When it comes to cutting in, this brush has unrivaled finesse. The bristles, while requiring a brief breaking-in period, are masterfully designed to go exactly where you need them to. The accuracy they provide for clean, straight lines is hard to match. With a brush like the Purdy XL Elite, even the most intricate edges become less intimidating. The Wooster Gold Edge 2 has been a recent favourite of mine, especially when precision is needed. It’s a superb choice for cutting in ceilings and navigating around wallpaper where any mistake is difficult to rectify.I used to be all about Purdys, but Arroworthy’s are starting to become one of my new favourites, and I know a bunch of other decorators who feel the same. Having tried the Finultra over the past year or so I have to say, it’s top-notch. Among the paintbrushes that have impressed me, the Prodec Ice Fusion certainly stands out. These brushes are a testament to quality and durability, and unlike others I’ve used, they don’t shed bristles, which is a significant plus. When it comes to durability, The Purdy XL Elite is top-notch. Unlike others I’ve used in the past (Hamilton Perfection, for instance), the Purdy XL Elite manages to hold its shape and integrity even after extensive use and washing. After that, on subsequent outings, moisten the bristles with thinner, and remove any excess. This will prime the brush for the paint to come.

However, be warned: always wash these brushes with cold water. Hot water can weaken the glue holding the bristles in place. If you do this, the Wooster Gold Edge brush is truly an exceptional tool, offering a blend of precision, durability, and a comfortable grip. 4. Arroworthy Finultra When it comes to cutting in above skirting boards, the Finultra is one of the best brushes for the job as it leaves such a neat finish. I’ve honestly been so impressed that I’m planning to get a few more. Fineness of the tip – The finer the tip of your brush, the sharper the lines you can achieve. It’s that simple. Best Cutting-in Paint Brushes 1. Purdy XL EliteOne area where the Prodec Ice Fusion brushes excel is in cutting in bold colors. They are, by far, the best brushes I’ve used for this purpose. The Axus Décor 1.5in Precision Angled Cutter Brush has been designed with this specific task in mind. Featuring a blend of synthetic filaments, tapered for releasing paint evenly onto the surface, the angled taper of the brush is what makes it ideal for finer detail, keeping the paint on the wall where it belongs and not making a mess of anything it shouldn’t. Now let’s chat about the Arroworthy Finultra which is a very solid brush. Using it is a breeze and cutting in almost feels like it’s doing the work for you. Furthermore, this brush holds plenty of paint and delivers razor-sharp lines, all while being comfortable to hold. With that being said, it does have some downsides. For example, the Finultra can go a bit stiff after a while, even if you’re really careful with it. But for its price and how well it cuts in, it’s not the end of the world.

As mentioned above, I usually go for Purdys, but the Axus Onyx is a solid alternative, especially considering it’s a bit lighter on the wallet. The bristles strike an ideal balance between soft and firm, contributing to a beautiful finish. The handle is comfortable, and designed for prolonged use without causing hand fatigue.Cleaning the Prodec Ice Fusion brushes is a breeze, as they don’t tend to clog up. This is a considerable advantage for those who like to maintain their brushes for the long run.
