Description
Overview
The Red Tree americana bristle brush 1.5 inch Malta is a natural-bristle brush for oil-based marine paints. It also works well for primers and varnishes on hulls and topsides.
Why it works
Natural China bristle holds and releases oil-based coatings more evenly than synthetic filament. That’s why it lays down a fuller coat with fewer visible brush marks.
Suited to
In particular, this is what it performs best at:
- Oil-based marine enamels and topside paints
- Varnish and clear coat on brightwork
- Primer coats ahead of finish painting
In practice
The bristle keeps its shape through repeated loading. So the brush holds its edge across a full painting session, not just the first few strokes.
Sizes and options
This brush comes in five sizes, from detail work up to full coverage. DockShop stocks the complete Americana range for oil-based marine painting.
Why DockShop stocks it
Redtree Industries builds its applicator range for demanding coating work, so the quality holds up under regular use. Because DockShop imports the line directly, the exact size or pack a job calls for is normally in stock, not a special order. That matters most on a job with a tight schedule, when a supply delay is not an option.
Care and storage
However you use it, rinse or clean the brush or roller promptly afterwards, based on the coating type. A little care after each job keeps it performing well for longer, so it is ready for the next coat without a trip back to the shelf.
