No bristles, so no brush marks — the reason foam wins on varnish and gloss where every stroke would otherwise show. Chisel cut edges hold a clean line for cutting in along skirtings and glazing bars. Three widths in the set: 1", 2", and 3". Worth knowing they hold a lot more product than a bristle brush, so load lightly or it runs down the handle.

The Fit For The Job Foam Brush Set leaves no brush marks. That is the whole reason to use foam. There are no bristles to drag through the wet coating, so varnish, gloss, and stain lay down smooth and flat instead of showing every stroke.

The set contains three widths, and the foam is chisel cut so it holds a clean line. That makes these useful for cutting in along skirtings and glazing bars, where a bristle brush tends to wander.


Key Features of the Fit For The Job Foam Brush Set
  • Three foam brushes: 1″ 25mm, 2″ 50mm, and 3″ 75mm
  • Leaves no brush marks
  • Chisel cut foam for precision edging
  • Holds a clean, straight line
  • Wooden handles with a hanging hole
  • Suitable for water-based and oil-based products
  • Inexpensive enough to treat as semi-disposable

Where to Use
  • Varnish and wood stain on furniture and trim
  • Gloss and satin on doors and frames
  • Cutting in along skirtings, coving, and glazing beads
  • Small furniture and upcycling projects
  • Decoupage glue and craft paints
  • Touch-ups and small repairs

How to Use the Fit For The Job Foam Brush Set
  1. Pick the width to suit the job rather than forcing one brush to do everything.
  2. Dip the foam in lightly. Do not submerge it.
  3. Press the excess out gently against the side of the tin.
  4. Draw the brush steadily along the surface in one direction.
  5. Use the chisel edge against the line you are cutting in to.
  6. Do not press hard, as this squeezes product out and causes runs.
  7. Rinse immediately after use, before anything sets in the foam.

Go Easy on the Loading

Foam holds far more paint than bristles do, which catches people out. Load one like a normal brush and it will drip down the handle and run on the wall. Dip it lightly, squeeze the excess out, and reload often. It feels counterintuitive but it gives a much better finish.


Cleaning and Expected Life

Rinse with water for water-based products, or the right solvent for oil-based ones. Squeeze the foam gently rather than wringing it, then air dry. Be aware that foam degrades in solvents, so a brush used for gloss or varnish will not last as long as one used for emulsion. Treat these as semi-disposable rather than expecting years out of them.


Choosing the Right Width

Use the 1″ for glazing bars, beading, and fine detail. The 2″ suits skirtings, architrave, and door frames. The 3″ covers larger flat areas and furniture panels.


Sizes Available

Supplied as a 3 piece set containing one each of 1″ 25mm, 2″ 50mm, and 3″ 75mm.


Safety & Restrictions
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • Ventilate the room when using solvent-based products
  • Follow the product tin’s guidance on cleaning solvents
  • Do not leave standing in solvent, as this breaks the foam down
