The 100% white DuPont Chinex synthetic bristles are modified for added firmness, allowing you to push heavy latex paints, acrylics, oil-based enamels, and stains onto textured or smooth surfaces with full control and minimal drag.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"\u003e\n    At 3 inches wide (76 mm), this flat varnish brush is versatile enough for broad wall sections, fascia, siding, doors, and wide trim. The unique mechanical property of Chinex filaments makes cleanup significantly easier than traditional synthetic bristles—dried paint washes off quickly to preserve tip shape and extend brush service life. Built with a stainless steel ferrule and a sealed natural hardwood handle for maximum balance and comfort.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; border-bottom: 2px solid #fecaca; padding-bottom: 5px;
