3" Chip Brushes - 12 Pack

Laying up chopped strand mat (CSM) or wide cloth on a flat panel goes quicker with a 3-inch chip brush, and this pack of 12 covers a deck repair, a bulkhead laminate or a coat of paint in the bilge. Natural bristles spread the resin smoothly and the wood handle is light enough for a long session.

Mat wants a stipple, not a stroke

With CSM, dab the resin down through the mat rather than brushing it flat, or the strands drag and bunch. A 3-inch brush covers more mat with each dab, so the layer wets out before the batch starts to go off. Use one brush per batch and bin it once the resin kicks.
