Where do you get them swivels from. I buy tile grout brushes (for the swivels) and adapt them to fit my brushes. Could do with the website link to them swivels.
Title: Re: Where can I get a salmon brush?
Post by: jouk45 on March 15, 2009, 12:09:30 pm: they are not made any more, gazHh20 was the guy that came up with the idea, he use to make the swivels and add them to the brush and sell them on the forum, i still have one to this day, but it wont last forever :'(
Title: Re: Where can I get a salmon brush?
Post by: Oakley Windows on March 15, 2009, 02:38:34 pm: Those angles are achieved with a normal angle adaptor. Nothing special in that.

Hi
The B1059 is the stiff bristle brush - you want the soft brush B1058. The last 1 Gaz supplied to me was this one pictured - white stock and yellow bristles.

Title: Re: Where can I get a salmon brush?
Post by: Oakley Windows on March 16, 2009, 10:23:10 pm: Looks like mine too.

I use an SL from Gardiners day in day out, but the Salmon is a lovely brush, so well bristled.

It was the first brush I bought when trying new things out and I loved it.

I might get a few for old times sake at those prices ;D
