Description
Overview
The Red Tree royal synthetic brush 2.5 inch Malta is built for water-based marine paints. Synthetic filament consistently outperforms natural bristle with these coatings.
Why it works
Water-based paint can cause natural bristle to swell and lose shape. So this brush holds its form and edge no matter how often it’s rinsed.
Suited to
In particular, this is what it performs best at:
- Water-based marine enamels and topside paints
- Cut-in and trim work needing a clean edge
- Water-based varnish and clear coat systems
In practice
A held edge makes clean, consistent lines possible around trim and hardware. The filament flexes predictably for controlled, even strokes.
Sizes and options
This brush comes in four sizes across the Royal range. DockShop stocks the full synthetic brush line for water-based 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.
