3/0 SYNTHETIC LINER BRUSH

AMMO 3/0 Synthetic Liner Brush

AMMO 3/0 Synthetic Liner Brush is a synthetic liner brush in size 3/0 from AMMO of Mig Jimenez. It differs from an ordinary round brush in its longer fibers, which take up more paint and hold it in a continuous stroke, so that you can draw a long thin line in one pass without breaking off. The synthetic fibers have springiness and are resistant to thinners, so they can be used with acrylic, enamel and oil paints.

Use

• Thin long lines: antennas, cables, bracing, wiring
• Suggesting cracks, seams and fine panel lines
• Outlining and edging on aircraft, figures and equipment
• Continuous strokes where a round brush would run out of paint

Differences from the other types

Compared with a round brush, a liner has markedly longer fibers optimized for long continuous lines; a round brush, conversely, is better for covering areas and for spot details. A saw brush then serves for irregular textures. Size 3/0 is fine, so choose it for the thinnest lines.

Care of the brush

Clean the brush immediately after use with the matching thinner or cleaner for the type of paint, and do not let paint dry at the ferrule, where it would stick the long fibers together. Do not pull the fibers against the hair and do not press the tip against the surface. Once cleaned, shape the tip to a point and keep the brush point up.

Who it is for

For modelers who need to draw long thin lines reliably, from antennas and cables to cracks and panel lines.
