Foam Brush test replacement

[traveler17]

I can’t find the thread but I believe it’s where I got the idea. Has anyone tried this in place of the normal foam brush , hog daddy etc...Put one on this afternoon, seemed good so far w more coverage. Pros and cons if ya got’em

I did. The brush works fine and seems really gentle, but after about two months the bristles were destroyed. A regular nylon brush lasts over a year before it looks worn at all.

This is not the original post, but they're discussed here:

Foam brush heads

Do you guys replace the whole heads when they wear out or install a refill? Also, what kind of fb heads do you use?

I tried the same combo. 1st it was a PITA to keep the brass adapter from backing out of the brush head. I drilled screws to keep them in place. 2nd like MEP said, they were looking ragged after about 2 months.

I went to a 4" Hog Daddy brush and they're still looking great ( installed last July)

I did the same, no matter how tight I got the adaptor into the head I could unscrew it by hand. The only thing I was satisfied with was that the foam came through it really well.
