Paint Brush AWTools bench brush 170 mm

The AWTools bench brush 170 mm is a wide flat paint brush designed for applying paint, varnish or primer on flat surfaces. With a 170 mm working width and a straight-edged bristle profile, this brush is intended for smoothing, finishing and covering larger areas quickly and evenly. The construction provides a stable stroke for panel work, benches, furniture surfaces and other broad, flat substrates where an even film is required.

Advantages

The bench brush offers a wide working width that reduces application time on large surfaces while maintaining control over the finish. Its straight-edged bristles enable precise smoothing along edges and across panels. The brush is suitable for use with a variety of liquid coatings including paints, varnishes and primers, providing consistent coverage and a uniform surface texture. The design supports repeated use in workshop and restoration settings with straightforward cleaning and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Applying paint and primer to benches, worktops and large flat panels
• Furniture restoration and refinishing
• Varnishing wooden surfaces and doors
• Workshop and general painting tasks requiring wide coverage

Key specifications

• Working width: 170 mm
• Bristle profile: wide, straight-edged
• Intended use: paint, varnish, primer application on flat surfaces
• Suitable substrates: wood, prepared panels and other flat materials

How to use

Select an appropriate coating for the substrate and prepare the surface by cleaning and, if necessary, sanding. Load the AWTools bench brush evenly with paint, varnish or primer and remove excess on the container rim to avoid drips. Apply the coating with steady, overlapping strokes following the grain or panel direction to achieve an even film. For edges and corners, use controlled short strokes from the wide brush edge to blend into adjacent areas. After use, clean the brush according to the type of coating: rinse with water for water-based products or use the recommended solvent for solvent-based products, then reshape the bristles and store dry.

Usage recommendations

For best results on wood, ensure the substrate is dry and free of dust; when applying multiple coats, allow proper drying time between layers and lightly sand between coats if a smoother finish is required.
