This brush is amazing. I've used a lot of different tools over the years for deck staining, from brushes, to rollers and pads, to a sprayer, and all had good and bad features. This brush is 100% good, IMHO. The brushes I've used in the past, even the nice ones, just don't hold the stain like this, nor put it down as smoothly.
This is a big brush, densely built with tens of thousands of bristles (I think - I didn't count them) and it does a superb job. Cleaning with mineral spirits was a breeze, changed three times until the solvent in the can came away clear, shook it out well, dried it gently and it was done. Some have commented that it did not work well to attach to an extension handle, which I didn't try to do. My bad, I bent back a few of the bristles staining below the bottom railing, which is a tight space, but it needed doing. I trimmed those few (8 or 10 hairs) off at the metal band and it looks brand new again.
The price was a bit daunting, but it works, it cleans up extremely well, it doesn't seem to shed bristles, and, with the sturdy storage box provided, I expect to be using it for years, which makes the price a bargain. In fact, I went back and ordered the Deck Boss by Perdura as well, which is twice the price, but is bigger and designed to be used on an extension pole. No more frustrating, poorly designed pad applicators for me!
