Description
Overview
The Red Tree semi synthetic brush 3 inch Malta blends natural and synthetic bristle in one brush. It is built for versatility across oil- and water-based coatings alike.
Why it works
A purely natural brush suits oil-based paint best, and synthetic suits water-based paint. So this blend performs reasonably across both, without needing two brushes.
Suited to
In particular, this is what it performs best at:
- Mixed jobs using both oil- and water-based coatings
- General marine painting and maintenance work
- Workshops wanting one versatile brush on hand
In practice
That makes it practical for a workshop that doesn’t want two full ranges. It also suits jobs mixing an oil primer with a water-based topcoat.
Sizes and options
This brush comes in five sizes across the 805P range. DockShop stocks it as the practical middle-ground brush for mixed 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.
