Foam brushes come in several types. One is near ideal for varnish, and one
may be used at your peril.
The recommended ones are dense foam, medium gray, with wood handles. They
can be re-used up to three days by simply wrapping in saran wrap without
squeezing them out and store in freezer. After three days or when the flow
is no longer smooth, chuck the brush. Price should be about 80 cents
Canadian at Army and Navy. Lots of price variation.
The bad ones often but not always have plastic handles and have black foam
with open pores. Varnish dissolves them.
The good foam brushes are better than badger brush for the non-professional
because no time is spent on clean up. Meaning more of your very valuable
maintenance time is spent doing the job.
