In fact, you can use a household broom handle in a pinch. Of course, if your goal is to look professional, you should choose a lightweight pol that is about five or six feet in length. Pros Fast application Save time Perfect for smooth/rough surfaces Professional finish No wool/foam left behind Lasts longer Works with oil/water-based paints, sealers, stains Cons Pole extension not included Not made in America Heavier construction isn’t as suitable for handheld needs 2. Wooster Bravo Stainer – Great Multipurpose Option Photo: Amazon The Wooster Brush is a stain brush that is four inches wide, though it also comes in 4.75-inch and 5.5-inch sizes. It is one of the best brushes on the market because it gives you excellent and consistent results with any oil-based wood stain or sealer. This brush has a white China bristle and a squared construction, which ensures that it is wide enough to cover a large area. It also ensures that your stain goes on smoothly and evenly. One of the things I really like about this product is the threaded hardwood handle, which has a bucket clip that can be removed and used with an extension pole. In fact, it seems to be a highly popular stain brush for many people including me: I personally find this brush to be a great choice, it’s perfectly designed for staining. Can you use the Wooster Brush for Wood Conditioner? Many people have used this brush for applying wood conditioner without issue. The brush itself is highly sturdy, which means you can use it for thicker products and on rougher wood. However, the key is that you can use it to hold a lot of conditioners and it still releases it in a more controlled way. Many people have also wondered if the Wooster brush can be used for acrylics, and many have found that it works well. Pros Soaks up plenty of stain and holds it Removable handle Bristles won’t shed while working Also good for wood conditioner Cons Can seem a little worrisome because the handle unscrews 3. Perdura Rapid Stain 5-inch Deck Brush - Best Overall Brush Photo: Amazon Like all Pedura products, this brush is easy to clean, easy to care for, and versatile.

It comes in attractive packaging and is easy to assemble. While the bristles are dense and hold onto the product well, this brush is simple to clean and care for. Plus, Pedura brushes feature a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Complaints about this brush are few and far between, but there are a few things to know before buying. The handle is removable so that you can use a painting pole in its place, but the brush is best enjoyed as a hand tool. Additionally, you may need to purchase a steel comb to thoroughly clean the bristles. I highly recommend this brush because of its impressive quality, sturdy design, and ease of use and care. Pros Professional Quality Durable Bristles Easy to Care For Cons No Cleaning Comb Included Removable Handle May Become Loose Wood Handle May Stain Easily 4. Linzer Project Select - Best Budget-Friendly Wide Brush Photo: Amazon While this Linzer brush may not be as "professional" as the Pedura above, it's a wonderful choice for anyone on a budget. Compared to other wide staining brushes, this one is surprisingly affordable, with many comparable features. If you're looking for a simple but useful staining tool, this brush may be a great choice. This multi-purpose brush is six inches wide and about one inch thick. It is suitable for a wide variety of wood stains and can also be used for paints. The bristles are made of polyester and the handle is made of molded plastic. Additionally, the handle is threaded and removable in case you want to use an extension pole. Reasonable Price and Reliable Results While this brush will fit neatly into any project budget, it produces reliable results. The flexible bristles of this wide-set brush make it an excellent choice for large projects like decks and fences. Plus, this brush is great for getting into crevices. Additionally, the plastic handle may resist residual staining better than other brushes with wooden handles. Although flexible bristles are preferable for many projects, they can present challenges in some situations. For instance, this brush may not work well for overhead projects due to dripping. The flexible bristles may also fray quickly leading to messier results. Additionally, when compared to high-end brushes, the bristles in this brush fall out more easily. This brush may not be top-of-the-line, but I still think it's a good option. However, for larger projects, fast workers, or overhead work this brush might not be the best choice. Pros Affordable and Wide Removable Plastic Handle Flexible Bristles for Detailed Work Cons Bristles Fall Out Easily Flexible Bristles May Cause Splatter Less Durable than High-End Brushes 5. Wooster Brush Shortcut Angle Sash Paintbrush - Best Brush for Tight Spaces Photo: Amazon Wooster is a trustworthy brand that has been making quality brushes since the 1800s, and this brush is no exception. While it is rather small, it's unique handle makes it particularly well-suited for small and hard-to-reach places. If your wood projects feature a lot of detail or hard-to-reach crevices, this brush might be the best choice for you. The bristles on this detailed brush are a nylon and gold polyester blend that is suitable for stains and paints of all types. Plus, it features a large and durable ferrule made of brass plated steel. The handle is about two inches long and flexible which means you will have an easier time maneuvering it in and out of tight spaces. Easy to Use, Easy to Store Thanks to the ergonomic handle and versatile bristles, this brush is easy to use for many different projects. Also, because the handle has a small hole on the end, this brush can easily be stored on a peg hook. While this brush may not be best for an entire project, it is great for making sure your details are on point. I love that this brush fits nearly anywhere when staining, painting, or storing. However, it's worth noting that the short handle may not work well for people with large hands. Also, because of the handle's flexibility, it can take some time to get used to this brush. All in all, this brush is a favorite of ours for finishing up projects and any necessary touch-ups. Pros Flexible and Maneuverable Great for Details Easy to Clean and Store Cons Not a Good Fit for Large Hands Steep Learning Curve Bristles May Come Out Easily 6.

These two brushes are part of Pedura's Pro Series and are specifically designed for trim and detailed work. Like other Pedura brushes, these are made with high-quality materials and a beautiful design. The More the Merrier If you can’t decide between a flat brush and an angled brush, this set might be a good option for you. Each brush in the set is durable, reliable, and easy to care for. The wooden handles are curved to fit nicely in any hand. And last but not least, the bristles are firmly attached and suitable for any type of stain. While these small brushes are excellent for detailed work, the stiff wooden handles may prevent users from getting into tight spaces. Still, the benefits of these brushes far outweigh this subtle flaw. Plus, they are backed by an impressive satisfaction guarantee. I recommend these brushes for small staining projects and detailing large projects.

We have looked into the four top brushes available for staining wood that are on the market for you to buy. If you’re wondering why the list was made, it’s because the market is full of brushes and products that make it hard for people to determine what is going to work best for their needs. Many companies might choose inexpensive materials to give an inexpensive brush, but these products may not be suitable for your needs. Instead, it is better to learn as much as you can about them before you determine which one is good for you. The technologies behind staining brushes haven’t changed much in the last few decades. However, there are some innovations now as there have been in the past. We’ve seen that with the Perdura Stain Brush Fence Applicator and other products. Of course, some of them haven’t changed (and probably should), such as the 20-pack of foam brushes. Regardless of your needs and skill level, any of these brushes listed here can be helpful to you in the right situation. Learning a bit more about them can ensure that you make the right choice. Conclusion Now that you have learned more about each of these four products, you are better prepared to choose one that fits your needs. If you have a large job, the fence applicator brush may be more suitable, but if you have a small job (such as trims around the home), you may do well with the foam brushes (20-pack). Either way, you know more about them and what others like about them and can make an informed decision.
