This foam brush kept its spongy qualities for the whole paint job. There is potential for a lot of drips, but if you take your time, then this is the perfect inexpensive yet effective throw away brush. I used it to apply some oil based paints for a weathered door look

Home Project
Simple and effrective way to paint our new bench that we made from our kids cribs. Simple and easy to use to get the job done. For the price you cannot beat it.

    These foam brushes are my go to for staining. They’re awesome. I have tried rags and regular brushes and I won’t go back to those anymore. Also very inexpensive.

      I purchased these because I saw a friend of mine staining with these at work , so I decided to give it a try. I got me a few different sizes and I’m so glad I did. Staining using these little foam brushes had made staining my projects a lot more easier and way more desirable. The quality is not to good, but they are meant to be used a couple of times then throw away. But they’re very affordable.

        Absolute garbage, breaks on first contact with objects.
        I use these types of brushes all the time for trim and varnish, I didn't get three swipes before both of them snapped at the base, I'm applying oil to wood with it, not heavy duty paint! I went through two brushes in less then a minute. It's held together with some flimsy brittle 5/16 plastic. I don't press hard, I like to reuse my stain brushes for weeks, but these didn't make it to the first coat of a single board. Hopefully other stores don't use the same distributor of this made in China garbage.

          Saved my job
          I was Using rust-oleum cabinet transformations with a regular brush and kept getting brush marks. Switched to the foam brushes and it was like night and day.

            DO NOT BUY the Home Depot generic/house brand. WORST QUALITY EVER. It snaps at the connection with the slightest pressure and after a few minutes of use. We'll replace with a new brush, only to have it happen again shortly after. We're not putting a lot of force on it at all, it is just shoddy construction, probably due to cost-cutting. Other brands we've used can put up with cleaning and a couple of re-uses. This one is not even suitable for one-time use for quick projects, breaks WAY too quickly. HOME DEPOT—PLEASE CHANGE YOUR SUPPLIER. This product is a complete joke with its terrible quality and therefore USELESS.

                        Brush is not good at all. I wouldn’t purchase again. I guess you get what you pay for on this.

                                      Have used this multiple times and washed it out and continue to use for water based clearcoat applications.

                                          I used this brush for applying polyurethane. It worked well for the first coat. The quality of the brush was good and didn’t fall apart. However, when applying the second coat, the sponge brush wanted to jump across instead of going along smoothly. I did wait for it to completely dry. I think using a regular brush would have been best. So I don’t think I can hold it against this brush if it wasn’t meant for it, but this is what I was told to use.

                                            The foam comes apart probably due to using oil based stain
