Portuguese to English

Construction / Civil Engineering
painting and varnishing
Are there different words in English for "trincha" and "escova"? This comes up several times in instructions for painting and varnishing, using alkyd paints, textured paint and varnishes. e.g.
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.

Note from asker:
| 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.

trinhca ou escova
wide or flat paint brush
Por vezes, trincha é também conhecida por pincel (vide site da Tigre, abaixo). No linguajar técnico, usa-se como 'wide or flat paint brush', a segunda opção a mais comum.

Note from asker:
| 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. |
