Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Portuguese term or phrase:
trincha ou escova
English translation:
spalter and paint brushes // spalters and brushes
Portuguese term
trincha ou escova
Este verniz aplica-se com trincha, escova, rolo, ou por projecção..(varnish)
A tinta é aplicada numa única demão e poder-se-á utilizar a trincha, escova ou rolo. (textured)
Se o processo de aplicação for à trincha ou à escova, terá que se espalhar primeiramente a tinta e seguidamente "picá-la" com a escova, de modo a obter-se um desenho uniforme. (textured)
Is it maybe the difference between a flat brush and an angled brush? Source language is PT/PT.
Thanks.

| Think I messed up when I entered into glossary - if you get a chance to do so, can you correct order of words to reflect trincha=paint brush and escova=spalter brush. Otherwise it's confusing. |

The Brush
The brush is available in numerous sizes, it is used greatly for “cutting in” around windows and doors etc, for finishing off with a roller. The brush application method provides good adhesion to the surface. Care is required not to “overload” the brush as the film coating can become uneven, take longer to dry, peel off, run or drip.
The brush bristles will also get clogged and will make it difficult to work with. There is a wide range in quality of brushes; this comes down to the type of bristle, (natural or synthetic), the length of the bristles, the end of the bristles, and the density of the bristles.
Natural vs. synthetic – natural brushes tend to shed, synthetic don’t.
Synthetic are better for use with water-based paints.
Length – longer are better as they hold more paint and reduce dripping.
End of bristles – varying lengths in bristles are better, especially if the tip is tapered as it lets the paint flow on smoothly.

| Thanks Nick, have now done a lot more research on stipple and spalter - difficult to choose between the two - but am going to go with spalter as it seems to be a more wide-ranging tool. http://www.fauxbrushes.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=pfinkelstein&Product_Code=GLZ-9&Category_Code=preparation Wish I could split the points, but thanks for your help anyway. |
