To apply the finish coat(epoxy)
I ran out of my usual yellow brushes the other day, I usually buy a bunch online but could not wait, so I went to HD to find something that would work and fund these. Wow!! They work like a charm, no more yellows for me

Marc..
As long as it works is all that matters. I use the Flex Coat 1/4 inch brushes.

Try it Dwight
Marc..
that looks like the acid brushes i use for grease. I use craft brushes from wallyworld; 20 pack is about two bucks and chuck 'em
The main thing is having a brush that will do a good job on applying finish to the rod, I like a 1/2" sable brush for my final coat, I feel it leaves a nice fine level layer and that is what I'm trying to achieve. I would think as long as you are able to get an even layer of epoxy as a base coat with that brush then its fine, may be a good idea to try it on a practice piece of old rod first. Just like a building you need a good foundation that is strong and level or the rest of it will look like crap.
Marcq,
You can get those same brushes at Harbor Freight which would be cheaper than Home Depot.

I like the really tiny purple flex coat brushes.
