   Not trying to be hard to get along with here but if poly is applied correctly, it levels itself and brush marks are not visible. I ask you now to explain the visible difference between brushed and lambs wool pad. I have booth finishes right here in front of me and I can't see a difference. That should be your goal, no brush marks. Another draw back is laps in the finish if you have a big area to cover with a brush.

   Sorry but I've never seen a 12" brush in my travels. I've seen plenty of 6"s.

   Just wondering

   *Jayne,

   The 12" brush you seek is sometimes referred to be used with a Swedish type finish, why? I have no idea. I'd use the lambs wool applicators if I were you, they come as large as 24". Kcoyner makes some good points about poly.

   I recently saw a dialog online initiated by Katie Hill asking where one could find 12" brushes for applying a poly finish on new hardwood flooring. Everyone keeps suggesting using lambs wool applicators, which I know about but I'm not interested in this method -- I want to apply the poly with a bush -- I know it's harder and more labor-intensive, but I want the brushed finish. So, can anyone advise us where to find 12" brushes? Thanks so very much if you can.
