Title: Addis Brush
Post by: billygoat on February 09, 2008, 08:59:14 pm

I use the Addis brush, but you have to be quite careful not to damage frames, paintwork etc,because of the hard plastic edge.

Does anyone have a clever solution to this,I've tried several different things but they never last very long,thanks for any advice,

Tim

Chamfer a good 1/2" off the ends nearly up to the bristles with a surform. It will allow the brush to splay better so that the bristles get into the edges and corners and the head wont come into contact with the frames.

I really get on with it,I've tried all sorts of brushes but I keep coming back to this.

Jeff, I've tried that but still found you have to be very careful,

Any other suggestions, most welcome :)

I use one too, love it. It's got to be the soft one mind or it will jump about. Mine splays with very little pressure - i just wish it had more bristles. Never had any trouble bashing the frames really.

I bought a weird looking brush the other day and i thought it would be good for cleaning gutters and facia boards with.

Now ive got my cam back ill take a few pics of it tomorrow...
It came with a 3 ft pole and a angle adapter for £4.99, its weird looking, triangle shape but i think Jeff B will find a job for it.

  I used the addis brush for along time, but it does wear out quickly and they will leave faint black/grey lines onwhite upvc frames, but they are very light.
 I have now changed to a Vikan sill brush which is alot heaveir but does a better job an dlast alot longer.

got to say the jumping around is due to the short length of the the thing

tried sthing similar but with longer length---no jumping
very firm
