5 in. Polyester Blend Stain and Waterproofing Block Brush

This brush might work a little too well, it held lots of stain which dropped and we switched to a rag eventually but it was useful for big surface sizes

Brush works great for painting decks.

I was nervous about getting such a large brush since I am a small older woman, but this soft brush was no problem and makes painting my cedar fence a breeze.

Awesome for Painting Rough Surfaces These brushes do awesome for painting and staining decks new and old. I have also used these brushes to paint brick and concrete.i've also used this brush to apply limewash. These brushes can really take a lot of abuse. Just be sure that you keep water and a wire brush handy so that you can it working good. If you get it really soiled then you can used mineral sprits or brush cleaner to bring it back to life. This brush always get nasty, but it bounces back with a little cleaning. And when they cant be brought back, they are priced pretty reasonably, so replacement is not an issue.

This is a one-time use brush. It is very hard to clean and the bristles come out with paint thinner

I had a rough deck to stain and didn't want to use a pad as the last time I used a number of those last time as they tore into pieces rather quickly- I think I used four or more pads to get the job done. That added a lot of extra time changing pads plus refilling the pad tray and battling the paint drying in the tray as I worked so this year I decided I had to come up with a better way. I was hoping that someone had invented a pad that had a brush surface with the sponge pad behind it- hasn't happened so next up I thought I'd try a brush with a long handle- didn't see one of those either BUT this brush is threaded to accept a 'broom style' handle and that worked great! No bending over! And the brush at 5" wide is actually perfect as it spreads as you brush and covers those 5½ deck boards just about right- too wide and paint goes right down between the boards more than on the boards and it wouldn't fit into the paint can! The next trick was to figure out an easy way to keep the paint with me. This brush fits down inside your typical paint can so I didn't have to use a pan. I decided to put a drop cloth on an old Radio Flyer wagon and just pull it along, which also really saved the back- and time- picking up a can or tray and moving it to the next section. The drop cloth was to prevent a sequel to 'Paint Your Wagon' and instead 'Paint with a Wagon'! Pretty pleased with how this all worked out!

Not sure how to rate this brush. I bought 2. I fell apart immediately. The 2nd was great. Best brush ever used.

This brush is perfect for applying deck stains. The ability to attach an extension pole is an added plus. I would like it to be available in a smaller size.

The Linzer 5 inch brush did an excellent job and I would recommend it to EVERYONE. I used it to trim around the edges of the floors I had just refinished in my first rental property. It saved time and my back and I got many compliments when I should everyone my work. Thanks again Linzer and Home Depot for a quality product.
