Excellent. I’m a diy’er. But my Grandad was an old school carpenter, built sash Windows and installed them in houses. All from his “wonderland” workshop in his yard. I’m 60 so you get the period. But the brush you just shaved is the shape I use to see in the workshop. 👍
gary24752 glossing is applying the top coat to woodwork over in England most of the woodwork ie trim are done in gloss which is the top coat, . on new builds we apply 2 coats of undercoat and then a top coat of gloss , all the woodwork comes pre primed
Nice vids mate , i've been in the trade over 20 years but still learning new little tips all the time. Anything that can help get the job done a bit quicker is always a help .
We did this years ago with bristle brushes by dipping them in white spirit or paraffin and setting them on fire!!...quickly putting them out and then rubbing them on sandpaper...the smell was fucking horrendous!...im going to try this updated method, good tip candle man
I have over the years, made many round over brushes, but they were natural hair bristle in those days. A good old mate show me how to round them over! I use 80 grit sandpaper and makes lovely brushes. Have you tried the Wicks ‘Harris’ round over’ brushes, bit pricy (Go for the five brush pack @ £18.00 = £3.60 each) But buy a single 1” brush and its £6.50 ouch.
After saying you could use the brush as it was to how it looked when finished trimming it was a big, big difference? Also, you never mentioned why you trim brush or any benefits of doing so however, you did mention the Hamilton thing and where you brought it several times.
Great that way if you need a gloss brush asap. I always wear my new brushes down on emulsion work first then use them for glossing after, they wear down quite quickly I find.
Yes very true but there are new painters coming to the trade who don't know, that's where your vids are excellent showing them the serious side and the fun side of being on site. I've been painting for 32 years, on and off sites, seen it all, bin there and done it 😀 You tube was not around then I wish it was. Love your vids I've nearly seen them all. Better than TV all day long. One thing did you get your Graco sorted out? Cheers Nige
Can you use this trimmed brush for cut ins with acrylic paints as well? Many thanks! Pete from Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. P.S. Love your tutorials, really appreciate them all! 🙏
I need help, my house interior flat surfaced doors already had 10 year old yellowish coloured (not sure if this was the original colour or it turned this colour due to dirt etc) gloss paint before I painted over them recently using high gloss paint without any prepping, the yellowish old gloss is bleeding through and you can see brush marks from the new high gloss layer, what's the best way to fix this issue so when I use high gloss, I get a smooth clean finish?
Very interesting video. Do you do this for your oil brushes and latex brushes as well? What is your reason for doing it? I have been painting a long time but have never seen your trick. I am going to try it. Again, thanks for the tips.
Is. never thought of this and now I know why all my dads old brushes ended up looking like this from years of use. I'm not in the trade but I do all my own carpentry and painting so I've tried it and damn it works brilliantly cheers
Do you use masking tape on the top of skirting board ? I have done it with first coat of undercoat and get the feeling it is going to peel the paint after a guy I was working with told me I should not have done it. I just did not have any confidence in my cutting in but might try trimming a brush down like on your other video
wallington good stuff glossy falls down in stations new builds great ur r becoming a star m8 maggie brown is proud of you vids r cool m8 keep it up and don't lay off ha!
Fantastic video! I'm not a professional, I never even heard of trimming bushes for glossing. Tried it and it's worth it! Why dont brushes just come like that?
Shouldn’t need to trim a brush for gloss, just buy the right brush....saves a load of time. In the past hog hair brushes were burnt into shape....those days are gone
I'm gonna try this, but I can't help thinking that for the few seconds it takes to run a strip of masking tape along an architrave, is it really worth it. Probably most useful for tricky things like ornate cornice work.
Well who would have thought of giving a brush a trim with a beard clipper? Great tip. You’re right about Purdy brushes,not much brush for a lot of money! Cheers for the trade secret.
Purdy brushes have gone down hill since S.W bought them out. Sad but true. S.W has also used the once popular Purdy brand name to sell other product lines such as roller poles, naps, roller handles, buckets, back pack etc. The once popular brand name is going down hill fast in the processional painting world.
Used this method on the same brush in video and it's lovely to use for glossing now.
Great tip cheers.
Would a makeup brush work? Looks kinda like one

What is glossing?
gary24752 lol if you need to ask, don't worry about trimming!!
A comment only an ass would make. I am in the US and have never heard that term either in the architectural office I work or in the field.

Do you use that trimmer on your birds bush
I'm the same 2 inch for the frames and woodwork... 3inch for cutting in rooms for speed

Why not just buy a cat's Tongue brush there's plenty of shapes out there.
You didn't ask if he wanted something for the weekend 😂

Wow ..We never stop learning..great job and I see the idea behind the trimming.
Thanks....Canada
Candle man why don’t you use a 1" brush ? After giving that 2" b haircut, it looks👀 like a 1" b..🕯🚬🛠
Very interesting video. Do you do this for your oil brushes and latex brushes as well? What is your reason for doing it? I have been painting a long time but have never seen your trick. I am going to try it. Again, thanks for the tips.
Worked well for me on T-Class brush for glossing.
Any chance you could make a few for me?

No chance

As a woman, I do Not have a Beard to trim. :D
😁😆🕯️🎥☕️
Surely someone has made brushes that already have this shape if that's what everyone does anyway
Yeah its called a sash brush why buy a new brush to trim it when you can buy a new brush trimmed
@@tonymckay7290 Trimmed brush holds more paint than untrimmed sash brush. People in trade need this, while diyers don't.
Great tips on your brush trimming, bristle and synthetic 👍

Watching your vid during lockdown and to be fair mate I could do with a trim as my barber is shut.
That's make sens to me... Will definitlly try next week
Thx

vids r cool m8 keep it up and don't lay off ha!
Starts at 5:50
Just buy a sash brush waste of time trimming
No need to trim Quality brushes like wooster or purdy.. Time to chuck out them Old school Hamiltons, they are the Council tenants brushes, lol
I trimmed my B&Q shorter for greater stiffness. Oil needs stiff brush. I would spend more on good oil than brush. Good oil flattens itself.
Are you giving a hair to your brush side and back and front please lol lol lol lol lol
Wtaf 😱 you wear a brush down by using it !!!!
Have you stopped trimming brushes?
Very helpful, I've trimmed with scissors before but not sanded
Learn how to cut in
Excellent thanks for the tip
Too much talking.
I still don't know the reason why you need to cut it.?
Turn the volume down then 🤣
Great vid really helpful keep them coming, thank's bud.
nice vid man thanx
Can you do this with scissors like you demonstrated on an earlier video with a bristle brush?
Yes
I just couldn't watch any more.. Ok
It's easy, mmmkay
Is ts a 2 inch or 1 in a half?
Loved the video, so helpful !
Southampton
sorry wall meant maggie white
sick idea
Jesus starting trimming already!!
Hi there what do u prefer oil base enamel or water base.?
Derek mccabe who cares just paint 🎨 it
I like 🐢
Made it thru 3 ads and almost 5min and bla bla bla. Don't even care anymore how you trim it. Outta here!
Do you not like hamilton sash tools?
Fantastic video! I'm not a professional, I never even heard of trimming bushes for glossing. Tried it and it's worth it! Why dont brushes just come like that?
You can get them slightly trimmed but they obviously charge more money for them, thanks for all your viewing.
