Good Morning Paul,
Although I've never used them on a plane or a boat, I've had excellent
results on wood, etc with
those cheap, throw-away, foam brushes.
They don't leave streaks, and they can't leave bristles since they
don't have any. If you've never
seen them, they are just a black sponge mounted on the end of a plastic or
wooden handle (depending on
the brand).
I've been using them for several years and as long is the paint isn't
pretty thick (and you have to
put extra stress on the sponge and the handle comes off) they seem to do a
pretty fair job. I've used
them with enamel, latex, vanish and Varethane, interior and exterior.
They come in several different sizes and are papered on the end for
getting into tiny corners and
crevices. When you're done (or wear it out) just toss it out and if the
job's not finished you can use
another one. They sometimes come in a package of 5 or 6 and are
'super-cheap' so you don't even consider
cleaning and re-using them and if one starts to come apart or gets loose
at the handle just use another
one. I have about a dozen or so of assorted sizes out in the shop at all
times, that way if I have a
touch-up or a big job to do I have them handy.
I don't know if the 'high-powered' stuff in Aero-thane would attack
the material or not, but I've
used them with about everything else and nothing has bothered them yet.
Gotta run, today is our fly-in to Albany and I have to stop and get
gas before I start out. (Yes,
I'm still driving to our fly-ins).
It's beautiful weather here in Eugene, bright sunshine melted the
little bit of frost that we had
several hours ago and there is nothing overhead but 'severe-clear'!!
Anybody in the NW with nothing to do, it's Albany at 1300hrs.....
Good Luck,
Bob Saville
