Also, any painting authority will tell you that the idea of using
a cheap, disposable brush, is a bad one, regardless of oil or latex.
Those cheap brushes leave brush marks, the bristles fall out into
the paint, they don't hold paint well... They are a real mess.


The window trim we are planning to paint is on the 3rd and 4th floors
front, and some of the southwest facing back. The lower floors in the front
don't get much sun. They are okay for now. No one is going to be able to
see any brush marks or stuck-in-the-paint bristles on the 3rd and 4th
floors. Nor in the back.

Surprising how good some of the cheap brushes on the market today are
- and how cheap some good brushes are. I've done a lot of painting in
the house recently using "low priced" brushes (less than $3 canadian
each) and have not lost a single bristle, and the finish has been
SUPERB - using water based paint, stain, and clear finishes.
