Thread: First try at a brush

I have been wanting a longer brush for a while now but haven't had the funds to buy one. Finally decided to make one and thought i would post the results and see what you guys think so here it is.


It came out a bit taller than i had intended but i think it will be fine. The material is instamorph, a thermoplastic material. I figured I might as well go full synthetic on it and got a 24mm synthetic knot from TGN.
I also added a magnet in the base to hang it while it isn't being used.


The colors didn't come out the way i wanted them to but i am still learning with the pigments and it is hard to tell how it will look while it is warm since the normal white plastic is clear while warm. Anyhow let me know what you guys think.

For anyone interested in the instamorph you can find it at InstaMorph - Moldable Plastic . it is pretty cool stuff.

Thanks,
Kyle

Very nice, should serve you well

Thanks I will post again when I see how well it works for me.

The brush works great! Feels good in the hand and I really like the synthetic knot. Of course I can only compare it to cheap boar and pure badger but still I like it.

Just got some Syn knots today,They look and feel nice,may do something with them down the road.
