A fantastic brush for cleaning leaded windows

Equally as good as the Vikan oval flocked brushes we started off using WFP.

When I was trad it used to happen aswell.
Probably a combination of poor lead work, and pressure on the glass.
I've also got leaded windows that I've done for years with WFP and it's never budged. The lead work is the common denominator.

I use an old softish superlite brush. A quick change from my regulat brush. Although softer is better for those windows, it's also about bristle angle. Clean so that the bristles are cleaning either dead on 90 degrees or at less than 90 degrees in the direction you move the brush. That way the bristles don't pick at it. Shouldn't happen anyway but some windows are poorer quality.
