What is the better brush to use for applying fiberglass? I have used a foam brush and they turn out to be crap because the foam just falls off halfway through. so do yall recommend a china bristle (wood chip brush) or a nylon bristle brush?

wood with real hair is the best, somtimes i find them at dollar stores, when i do i buy them out! Nylon gets too soft for me

yeah I don't really remember what it was wood oor nylon? but I know they have plastic handles and bristles... We have a store up here that sold them in a variety 5 pack for $1.99!!!!!!!! I bought like 10 then now the store has them in 4 packs or 3" brushes for the same price... You gotta find a surplus and salvage store like that to get the best deals cause the cheepest bristle brushes at the home depot are still like $1 each

Man I just go to walmart and buy the black plastic handle brushes with the black bristles and cut the bristles down to about an inch or so. You can get these for like .60 cents apiece. They work good for me.
