No, you pay less and get more! For example, a pack of ten foam
brushes is
$0.98 vs. ninety-eight cents for ONE brush at Home Depot!

That's, uh, (mumble, mumble, carry-the-three), ah, TEN TIMES as much
for the
same price!

Whata deal!



Place the foam brush in in thinner to clean it. I can clean my $4 Lowes
Wooster foam brush in thinner and use multiple times and with a ferrel
nothing run down my arm out of the brush.

Are you saying the ones from Lowes are a lot better? I actually bought
some from HF to use for glueing. I bought them thinking they were
disposable, but I've washed my first one twice! : ) I noticed on the bag
it says they are for *painting*. Can anyone comment on how well they
work for painting?


There are different quality foam brushes, be advised. A great glue
brush does not necessarily make a great paint brush.

Read the label on the product you are about to use. Does it mention a
foam brush, does it mention a good quality foam brush? Some do, many
don't. I have had great results with a Wooster foam brush using General
Finishes Arm-R-Seal varnish, the foam brush was suggested on the varnish
label. Many foam brushes will melt in paint thinner so those will
certainly degrade when using in an oil based product.
