Sorry about the other posting-hit hte wrong button. I just finished the exterior fiberglass on my first canoe and found quite by accident that there is a significant difference in quality of foam brushes. The first I used were from the local True Value and did just fine--used just one for an entire coat before the foam started disentegrating. I haddn't thought they would work very well and only purchased 2 at 89 cents each. When I ran out and had to get others at Wal-mart because of the holiday I puchased 8 at 50 cents each and ended up using 3 or more for each following coat. I'd beware of purchasing bulk without trying out one first.
