Title: Stippler Brush
Post by Bayden_Rank on Aug 15^th, 2006, 3:22pm

Hi my late father in law was a top class decorator of many years (which is probably why I am cr*p as he would always volunteer sometimes before we wanted it done).
Point is that I have come across what I think is an old stippling brush of his and want to send it to a good home - if it is wanted. No money wanted just better than chucking it. It has two handles that are interchangeable one being a small bowed handle and one a longer straight handle that run at right angles to the bristles (one screw missing). Made, I think, by J R Lee Ltd and has the number 23.

Its nice of you to offer Bayden, but I would never use the stippling brush, of course I come across artex ceilings all the the time that I have to repair cracks etc, but I always manage to blend either the stipple or the swirlys effect into the ceiling with an ordinary small dry stiff paintbrush. :)

If your throwing away a classy 'hamilton' ;) Paperhanging brush, then by all means throw it my way lol.

I went to buy one the other day, as have had my old 'hamilton' ;D for years, and needed a new one, near fell through the floor when the shop gave me the price, didnt buy it in the end, still using whats left of the old one.

Sorry Cora you are not getting your hands on my Hamiltons (3) ;) This brush is for stippling the glaze over a finish and would not in my opinion be suitable for Artex (spits).
Looks a bit like this:

and now I have found out how much they might cost I may just hang on to it ;) http://www.tryrelics.co.uk/catalogue/G/02

I used to use one of those years ago. After applying egshell paint with a brush, we used to stipple it to get rid of any brushmarks and give a uniform finish.

Sometimes we would paint glass and then stipple it. Not allowed now I think.

Ah, the good ol days. ::)
