Lots of negative comments here, everyone has an opinion, but keep in mind this fella is just sharing his vast experience, he also makes a damn good wage, adds some humour, his work also looks good, he's an old school character and a tradesmen, so disrespectful comments aren't being fair it's not clever.
An old professional decorator said to me use new brushes for flicking out dust example under skirting boards to help split shape the bristles, he said even the very best make of brushes were useless when new. I loved this video thank you for posting.
I might try this on few brushes I have had for a while that don't seem to be wearing in good even when they have been used to wash down door frames from the sand and cement I like a nice shaped brush as they great to clean the plaster from angles
This dude is not an America he still uses a bunch of oil products and these garbage old school brushes you would get laughed at using brushes like that on a job site in America, he's always talking about undercoating and glossing. No one uses those terms in America
+mick falvey Because it's ill-advised and unnecessary, and thus hardly in demand from consumers. If you insist on something like that, however, there are special brushes ("artist brushes") made for intricate painting that are made by the arts&crafts companies.
If this is the way to do it, why are you the only painter doing this? I don't see how this is better. Good brushes over here aren't cheap, about $30, which in your money is about 15 pounds. I would have to test your method on a cheaper quality brush. In my experience you want a flat brush, not angled sash brushes. Those are designed for windows, not walls. And a 3 or 4 inch is best as a 2 or 2.5 won't hold enough paint for walls, which means you slow down. I have found the secret of getting straight cut lines is not in the angle, but in the quality of the bristles. Quality bristles will lock right into the corner. And you can shape and manipulate the bristles as needed.
I've tried it a couple of years ago, they worked quite well for cutting in on the skirtings/trim and doing spindles on stairs other than that I would just stick with a flat brush or angled brush personally
1Chalkywhite the reason you do this is to be able to push around the heavier bodied oil based trim paints and be more precise with them.long floppy brushes are useless for this reason
Jay Gecko yer preaching to the preacher been in the game 40 years the brushes he’s using are shite if he used a top synthetic brush he wouldn’t have to waste his time pissing about cutting the bristle ... I’ve seen it all ... what’s his catchphrase “unbelievable” !

I get how this would be better to cut in with, especially down the side of architraves etc, but i couldn't bring myself to cut up my purdy's
well done, someone who knows how to adapt tools, don't find this skill anymore these days
Nice and simple explanation ,and a bit of English laughter thrown in ,,,keep it up
I might try this on few brushes I have had for a while that don't seem to be wearing in good even when they have been used to wash down door frames from the sand and cement I like a nice shaped brush as they great to clean the plaster from angles
Definitely going to give this a try fella ta
Well don Mark,,I’ve learned something today thanks to you mate,,👍👍👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👍
Totally agree. Brushes naturally shape when used properly. Besides sash tools are much better😁
Sash brushes are excellent.
Thanks so much. Very good of you to share this.
Puts alot of graft in.
It's a good idea in it.
Great video mate cheers for the advice
Never trimmed a brush in my life. Just have a conveyor belt. New brushes for rough/big areas 'til they're shaped then for detail gloss etc.

You are The Painter Arteeest..
This guy is incredibley committed.
Good to learn how to start a good fire
IT should Shape itself over time that’s not the way by Yourself sash brushes. And a brushes box. Do you shape you toothbrush well then
Do you do this to all your brushes? And good work 👍🏼
Helpful! Thanks.
Yeh I like the burning idea.
Thats like a large version of a filbert brush artists use
sash brushes are like those for getting right into tight corners
I want to know, why don’t you buy an angle brush? Won’t it save the hassle of shaving the brush?
This dude is not an America he still uses a bunch of oil products and these garbage old school brushes you would get laughed at using brushes like that on a job site in America, he's always talking about undercoating and glossing. No one uses those terms in America
Because you aren't learned
@thomasburr9244 they don't use gloss and undercoat in America?, what do they use then
just buy decant brush Like purdys last for years if looked after those brushes are dusters 😂😂
Pro-dec Yep.
Yeh they're good brushes but some old school still prefer natural.
Natural fibre for oil
Cheers
A helpful tutorial.
Why didnt you just buy dulux perfect edge triangle brush
One question ,,,spray guns
great tip thanks
Trimmers would be better to cut than scissors
why dont the brush companies just make them that shape?
why not buy a cutting in brush. ???
Candle man why don’t you use an angle brush?🍺🕯🕯
Sorry what's the best roller for sationwood
Mohair probably
Depends on what your painting with woodwork you’ll get a better finish by brush just wet sand in between coats
Can’t I just buy old brushes ?
Good tip
Id be so peed off if i spent $15 on a brush and still had to manipulate it
why dont the manufacturers just make these or do they?

Yes. Harris never buy another
Sash cutters.
Wallington always looks smashed. Absolutely terrible. Knackered. That my friends is n how you will look on the brushes painting houses on price.
Can't you just buy a brush that size, or smaller.

He literally says it’s for the side of architraves and skirts on the video ffs
Just buy sash brush pal, never had to destroy a brush yet
What is the purpose of doing this to a brush?
gary24752 so it holds a bunch of paint at one time, which means you don't end up with as many lines and you save time, but it's still precise
he's basically a speed painter that's how they make their money
Well I thought it was a bristle brush, turned out to be nylon! oops.
You joking!
Any chance you can stop saying "basically" every other word 😳
Who's this beta clown, great tips thanks for sharing
Seven quid for a brush, Mate? Why so dear?
A decent brush for cutting in Emulsion like a 3" Purdy Elite is about £15!!! Will last and hardly ever shed a bristle and give the best finish.
Shit brushs ,Chinese made ? Down under we like hair on it .so it holds a decent amount of paint ,that's a stump you got
Shouldn’t need to do that if you know what yer doing ... the longer the better !
