Thread: Adjusting loft

Full disclosure, I know next to nothing about brushes. The o-ring/tape talk got me thinking an appropriate size zip-tie might work well and let you adjust tension on the fly. Just throwing that out there.

I've heard of others using zip ties. When I first experimented I did a thread whip, like the whip on the end of laid rope. That worked but was not very permanent. Setting the brush deeper had a different and IMO better effect.

Yup, I did use a West Country Whipping to temporarily adjust the loft on a brush. It showed I was going in the right direction and worked when I reset the loft to what I had it choked to.
