Acid Brushes - 36 Count 3/8 Inch Horsehair Acid Flux Brushes, Disposable Glue Brushes for Woodworking, Epoxy Brushes for Resin, Great for Crafting, Soldering, in The Home, and School, or Shop

EXCELLENT PRODUCT !!!

These are medium coarse brushes that work best in applying adhesives and other viscous products to surfaces, such as leather, wood, fabric etc. The brushes can be cleaned and reused, but as the cost is so low, they are easier to use once and just throw them away! Good product at a price that will fit the everyday crafter.

These are pretty decent brushes for most tiny-brush applications. The price is great for the quantity you get. Good enough for applying/spreading glue or grease or cleaning small things. They aren't the highest quality - but they are basically "disposable". The bristles will come out pretty easily if you're anything but gentle with them, but as some others have mentioned, you can crimp the end that holds them tighter than they come with some pliers, a vise, or a good whack with a hammer. The handles are also pretty flimsy, you can bend or squash them pretty easily, but again, disposable. Good enough!

I find brushes like this to be ideal for spreading glue on wood joints. The stiff bristles allow you to get the glue deep into sockets and spread it evenly. I used to buy the Rockler ones and didn't go for the $14.99 for 48 which works out to $0.31 each. I would instead go for the 6 pack at $2.99 which is $0.498 each. The problem with having only 6 is that while I don't use them every day I did use them enough to run out and when I needed one I was out! Very frustrating! So I went for these instead $7.99 for 36 so $0.22 each and now I have a large supply and can order more when I'm down to about 6 or so!! Great deal and excellent quality!

Great addition to my soldering/desoldering kit.

I was looking for disposable brushes for those jobs where the ability to clean a brush gradually becomes no longer possible. I've no need for fancy, just for functional. These have been sturdy and held up well to the short period of abuse I inflict on each of them. The bristles don't pull out right and left, not when you're handling them and not when you're using them to evenly coat with a thick, permanent gel glue. I trim them as I go, so I can angle them as I need and squeeze more time out of them--not at all hard to do and the bristles still stay put. Eventually, when the brushes get too short and/or gunked-up, I pass them along to a local metal recycler so they can live on in another form.

I like the quantity for the money but they really are cheaply made. I really hate getting bristles stuck in finishing epoxy and then have to pick them out. Only if they crimped them better I don't think it would be such an issue. What I started doing with these epoxy brushes is pushing the long bristles into the tube farther and recrimping them with a pair of crimpers. And give it a pull for loose strands before I start epoxying. Sometimes cutting the length of the bristles for thicker epoxies. It's been working out all right. If you're not worried about getting bristles in your work then these are fine. If you are, top brands like Great plains makes really good epoxy brushes but more expensive.

Much cheaper to buy these in bulk. 48 of them will keep me for a while.
