Quality Mineral Specimen Brushes
Find out why saving money on the tools you use every day can cost you more in the long run. There is a reason these brushes aren't cheap: they are well made with the best materials to last long enough to earn their price.
Set of 2 natural boar bristle brushes, 1" and 1 1/2" wide with brown nylon ferrules. Sold as fine pastry brushes these naturally water resistant bristles are both soft and strong. The hardwood handles are lacquered for a smooth stain resistant grip.
The brushes should be stored clean and dry, but the nylon ferrules mean they won't get bent and rusted even hauling them in a tool bag. These two sizes handle gritty brushing and are just as dependable for your most delicate work. We've found these to be excellent specimen brushes that hold up well in tough conditions.

Since we all have personal preferences and different ideas about what works best for us, you can see many other brushes that work well in the Boar Bristle Brushes at Amazon.
We quit using the cheap disposable brushes after an afternoon wasted picking bristles out of our screens. Lower pricing for bulk orders means we save more by ordering enough at once to last through years and don't spend time hunting for "the brush" because we can keep one in the duffel, one in the car, one in the truck and more wherever they come in handy.
They are handy all through the house - we even keep one in the office to brush dust away from the keyboards. I keep two in the kitchen- they're great for basting, BBQ or brushing out the toaster; there are lots of things you can do with a very good boar bristle brush besides clean mineral specimens with it.
We think it is only fair to mention that we are Amazon Associates and earn some change for these sales. Personally we feel good helping you find dependable tools.
