1" Foam Brush with Wood Handle (RTI-FOAM-1)

1" Foam Brush with Wood Handle

Apply marine paints, varnishes, and coatings with a clean, smooth finish using this 1" foam brush. The foam applicator head lays down an even, drip-free coat with minimal brush marks — making it the preferred choice for antifouling paint touch-ups, varnish work, epoxy application, and other marine coating tasks where a lint-free, streak-free result matters.

Key Features

• Foam Applicator Head — Closed-cell foam holds and releases paint evenly, producing a smooth, brush-mark-free finish on fiberglass, wood, and metal surfaces
• 1" Width — Ideal for detail work, trim painting, touch-ups, tight spaces, and small surface areas where a full-size brush is too large
• Wood Handle — Comfortable, lightweight wood handle provides good grip and control during application
• Lint-Free Application — Foam head leaves no bristle marks or lint in the coating surface — critical for varnish and high-gloss topcoat work
• Disposable / Single-Use — Low cost makes these ideal for single-use application with solvent-based coatings where brush cleaning is impractical; simply dispose after use
• Versatile Compatibility — Suitable for use with antifouling paints, varnishes, epoxy resins, primers, topcoats, and most water- and solvent-based marine coatings

Application Tips

Stir paint thoroughly before use. Load the foam head by dipping approximately 1/3 of the foam into the coating — do not over-saturate. Apply with light, even strokes in one direction to minimize foam compression marks. For varnish, work with the grain of the wood and avoid going back over partially dried areas. For antifouling paint, apply in smooth, overlapping strokes for consistent coverage. Dispose of the brush after use with solvent-based coatings — foam brushes are not easily cleaned with solvents and are designed for single-use application.

At this price point, keeping a supply of RTI-FOAM-1 brushes on hand makes every paint and varnish job cleaner, faster, and more professional.
