Description
Overview
The Red Tree thick chip brush 4 inch Malta is a fuller-headed version of the standard chip brush. It holds a heavier load of paint or primer per dip.
Why it works
That extra bristle volume means fewer trips back to the paint tray. So coverage on larger areas is faster than with a standard chip brush.
Suited to
In particular, this is what it performs best at:
- Priming or painting larger surfaces efficiently
- Epoxy and resin application, used once
- General workshop and maintenance painting
In practice
It is still an economical, largely disposable brush. That keeps the same advantage for epoxy and resin work where cleaning isn’t practical.
Sizes and options
At 4 inch, it sits at the larger end of the chip brush range. DockShop stocks it alongside the standard chip brush line for smaller jobs.
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.
