Title: sills brush help please guys...
Post by: Wc Solutions on September 21, 2010, 02:22:57 pm
ive got the vikan sills brush - red and green one - got it from gardiners ... i love it, this i use on my every day pole - clx.

but i thought id get a second brush head for my 31 ft brodex alloy hydra - for the bigger jobs .... so some how i ended up buying a vikan sills brush from john hewitt - the hi lo sills brush - its just plain red.

the thing is the bristle seem really harsh! almost like a broom.

im using it 2moz and im wondering if i should ....

i know there is a soft and hard version of the sills brush but it didnt say on john hewitts site and i just assumed it was gonna be the same as the red and green one.

any help please guys would be great.

anyone got this brush head? review/thoughts

Cant help too much at all though i do know there are soft sill brushes and a red only bristled stiff one sold. I would like someone who uses the stiff bristled type to report on its useage though as i am scared to buy it.

Thats the one i am thinking about,i would be worried about it being a bit harsh and removing flaking paint etc.
Actually just checked gardiners site and it doesnt mention if its the stiff one so as usual i shall remain confused but i do know there is a brush looking identical and described as stiff out there for sale somewhere.

Done the research again, the one thats all red(stock and bristles) is the one that appears normally sold and described as having stiff bristles.
