Flat paint brush Polax 50 mm mixed bristles (model 14-003)

Flat paint brush Polax 50 mm mixed bristles (model 14-003) is a medium-width flat brush designed for applying paints and varnishes on flat surfaces, edges and trims. The mixed bristles combine flexibility and stiffness to provide smooth coverage and controlled stroke direction. The 50 mm working width makes the brush suitable for precise application where a balance between area coverage and detail is needed.

Advantages

The mixed-bristle construction offers a balance between paint retention and firmness, enabling even distribution of paint and reduced streaking. The flat shape supports straight, uniform strokes along boards, panels and skirting, while the medium width allows for accurate edging without frequent reloading. The handle and ferrule design provide stable grip and reliable bristle alignment for consistent results over multiple uses.

Suitable for

• Applying water-based and solvent-based paints on interior walls and trim
• Varnishing doors, window frames and skirting boards
• Cutting in edges where a medium-width flat brush is preferred
• Small to medium renovation and touch-up jobs

Key specifications

• Brush type: flat
• Bristle material: mixed (synthetic and natural blend)
• Working width: 50 mm
• Intended use: paints and varnishes
• Suitable surfaces: wood, plaster, primed metal and drywall

How to use

Dip the brush into the paint to a depth that covers the lower third of the bristles, then tap off excess on the can rim to avoid drips. Apply paint using steady, even strokes following the grain or direction of the surface. For edges and trims, use the flat edge of the brush for precision and the broad face for larger areas. After use, remove excess paint by wiping on a rag and clean synthetic components with water or suitable solvent depending on the paint type; allow bristles to dry in shape before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select matching paint types (water-based or solvent-based) and maintain moderate brush loading to reduce runs and brush marks. Store the brush with bristles protected and avoid prolonged immersion to extend service life.
