A poly bristle brush gives the smoothest results when brushing BlackTop for a frame or chassis.
Brush technique matters as much as brush choice. Overworking the brush, going back over the same area repeatedly, can cause BlackTop to cure too quickly and leave visible marks, regardless of which brush you use.
A poly bristle brush is the best choice for brushing BlackTop and gives a smooth, durable finish on frames and chassis parts. When brushing, do not overwork the brush; it is best to apply BlackTop to an area and move on immediately rather than brushing the same spot repeatedly. Repeated brushing forces solvents out of the coating early, which can cause it to cure too fast and leave visible brush marks that do not flow out.
