Description
This is a review of the Catalyst Polytip Bristle Brush - Filbert Size 10. The brush is made of real integrity hog bristles with a polytip feature that replicates the flags on the finest natural bristle. The brush is designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints and is able to push even heavy gel mediums with assurance.
This new series is super stiff yet still extremely responsive. Unlike natural hog bristle, Catalyst has real integrity in water. Natural bristle can be rendered useless when it is water-soaked.
The true advance in Catalyst is the Polytip feature. For the first time, the tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each individual hair 2 to 3 distinct tips, Catalyst is able to hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application.
Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, Catalyst pushes even heavy gel mediums with assurance.
