Like the idea of being able to adjust the brush hairs as wanted for a specific job, thanks for sharing Jim !

Never given this subject much thought, since silicone baking brushes is so cheap, and have covered my needs until now.

Silicone Baking Brushes on Ebay

Will certainly keep your idea in mind, as the need for a customised brush does arise at times.
It isnīt easy to change much besides number and length, on those relatively thick and widespread "hairs" in a baking brush.


Jan having them short with the shrink tube and round makes them so much more stiffer and more usable.

You've got no idea how many of the cheap sets ($4 for 10) of artists brushes I've ruined over the years!

I want to make a complete assortment for different uses tomorrow.
