Built in the USA with global components, the Elder & Jenks Shipmate series carries on a tradition of quality brushmaking established in 1793. Featuring 100% natural white China bristles, this 3-inch flat brush is engineered specifically for oil-based paints, alkyd enamels, varnishes, polyurethanes, and oil stains. The soft natural flags at the bristle tips hold a high volume of coating and release it evenly for a mirror-like finish without brushmarks.
Equipped with patented Bristle-Lok® technology, the bristles remain securely bonded to prevent shedding into your wet finish. Complete with a sealed hardwood handle with dip-tinted tip and a durable ferrule, this 3" brush delivers balance, leverage, and comfort across marine, woodworking, and architectural painting projects.
