My local True Value carries these at 3x the price. I love my local store and shop there a lot, but I had to grab these from Jeff B. Excellent quality. Crummy foam brushes are a complete waste of time. These are very good. Stiff foam but very absorbent.

I use foam brushes for woodworking to apply finish. I have always used the cheap ones. In fact I just used the cheap ones to apply my first coat of shellac to my current project. I needed 2 cheap ones for one coat and had to go over the same spot multiple times to get an even coat...that was my last cheap foam brush so for the second coat I used one of these Jen foam brushes. Why did no one tell me about these before? Not only did I use one brush for the entire coat but the brush still looked brand new when i was done! I could have used it 10 times longer without any problems. Also one swipe and the finish was evenly applied without having me to go over the same spot multiple times. These make the process go so much faster and really does save you money since you need one brush instead of multiple of the cheap brand. I will never buy any other foam brush for as long as I live!

I have been buying / using foam brushes for years, and they are NOT all created the same. Some of the cheaper ones are not bonded to the handle well, and the foam pad falls off during the first use or after cleaning on the second use (especially if cleaned with spirits).I previously purchased my foam brushes from Lee Valley and have been pleased with the quality, but when I saw these at the better price here on Amazon, I thought I would take a chance.Bottom line - these are virtually the same ones I used to get from Lee Valley, and these are good foam brushes. Well constructed wood handles, the foam stays on the wood handle, even after multiple cleanings.There might be better foam brushes out there, but these are the best I have tried and for less than 50 cents a pop, I am very pleased with these! I have already tried these on two table tops using oil based polyurethane and they worked well.Hope this helps! Just be aware not all foam brushes are created equal!!

I use these foam brushes for application of oil based stain on wood and varnish work. The stiffness of the brushes is just right and the fine cell structure of the foam releases the stain or varnish in a controlled way that creates a professional looking film. I have tried other brands of foam brushes and find them to be exasperating to work with due to the drips and other irregularities left in the finish, as well as the flimsiness of the brushes. Jenn Mfg Poly-Brushes and easily the best.

I'll start out by saying that I'm unhappy. You see, to handle a really pesky roof leak, I ordered a couple gallons of "Through the Roof!" liqufied silicone sealant (terrific product, by the way). It's said to be brush-spreadable, and I didn't feel very happy about having to clean my good paintbrushes with buckets of xylol, toluol, or acetone after using them to apply that sealant. I'm also too cheap to go out and buy several good brushes just for this project, then throw them away. Wasteful, you know.So... foam brushes seemed like a shoo-in. Chip brushes didn't seem right, but foam brushes seemed well suited. But... we all know how aggregiously foam brushes break up & dissolve, right? Especially right in the middle of something critical and difficult to fix, leaving one with a half-finished {whatever} with chips of foam (or worse yet, a half-dissolved foam "brush" head) floating in the finish. Argh, right? So... since that sealant was thinned with acetone, and since foam brushes surely dissolve like lightning in acetone, I figured I'd be Mister Wise and buy... 48 2" brushes and 36 3" brushes. Let one work for twenty seconds, watch it dissolve, grab another, keep going.I even took a bucket and a plastic grocery bag up on the roof with me to catch all the nasty dissolved half-brushes.Except... I finished the entire job with only ONE 3" brush, and it looked no worse for wear after I'd finished than it did when I began. The handle didn't loosen or break off/out, the foam didn't break up or dissolve, nothing. I could very easily have popped that one brush into a corn can with half a cup of xylol and cleaned it right back out, maybe give it a final rinse in acetone, and you'd not have been able to tell that it had ever been used.Now what the heck do I do with the remaining seven dozen minus one brushes? As a rule, I don't like foam brushes - I consider them to be "not good brushes", disposable junk, and now I own 83 brand-new very GOOD (for foam) foam brushes. I'm too frugal to throw them away, especially since they're so invulnerable. I... just... don't have any clue what to do with them except hide them in the barn for the heirs to deal with.Oh, they came exceptionally nicely packaged, I might add. Many layers of brushes in the box, with paper dividers between the layers. The packaging was much nicer than foam brushes warrant, in my mind. Foam brushes belong in a big plastic bag or even a paper sack, just jammed in haphazard-like. These were treated at the factory as if someone gave a darn about them... and I suspect that someone DID give a darn about them.
