i need to put a pic up of my sl brushes to show the wear then

[Nathanael Jones]

I'm resurrecting this old thread, as I've just got my hands on an 18" DT tucker brush.
It looks very nice, really dense bristles compared to the SL brushes.

There is an aluminium plate on the back of it,.. is it really necessary, or can I get rid of it to save weight?

[luther1]

The aluminium plate is only on the 18" to stop it flexing,and not the 12".If you are going to cut it down to 12" the you won't need the plate.

[Nathanael Jones]

I was thinking of cutting it down all right,.. even without the plate its 505 grams!

[luther1]

If you cut it down to the size of a match box so it weighs the same as a Gardiners Superlite,you'll be all day doing one set of patio doors! Now i know why my arms are like Popeyes!

[NWH]

The SL brushes i find are better than the Tuckers they are loads lighter and are far easier to work with on the glass,i spent a fortune on brushes over the years until Gardiners came up with this brush i find them to be perfect for WFP.The only thing i think Alex could do would be to try and pack a few more bristles in the stock but apart from that it`s spot on with all 3 types flocked dual single trim.

I have to say that as much as i hate saying it but after using a ionics brush today this was the best id used so far.

I converted a white stocked Ionic brush like the Tucker and i found the Ionic 1 better to use as it glided across the glass better although it was still heavy compared to the SL brush.

[NWH]

This is the 1 i did.

I done a 4 storey block and used the ionics brush  (4 hours) and have to say it made the job a breeze and it really felt like it was cleaning the glass with little effort, i want to convertone for my facelift 44foot.

The superlite is an excellent brush, all it needs to be perfect is a really good swivel.
I hate working without a swivel and still use the Stanley paint pad conversion daily.
A good swivel has to be right on the stock, and as Jeff said in an ideal world the brush angle needs a
lockable adjuster. An angle adapter just doesn't cut it for me, most of mine have too much side to side play, and I want zero flexibility apart from the swivel itself.
A good swivel gives you the option to use your brush on it's side for narrow panes, and all at a flick of the wrist. Anyone that doesn't like swivels has never used a good one.

NHW I to love the ionic brush 2 be honest cant really say which is best except the ionic brush is heavier

[Jeff Brimble]

Anyone that doesn't like swivels has never used a good one.

coming soon

Very interested, can you tell more? I don't like these plastic white swivels, too flimsey, I need something that's part of the stock.

If you want to you can send me an email.
