Comments about Blick Mega Gesso Brushes:

This brush sheds so many bristles and I spend more time picking them out of the gesso than it takes to paint a canvas! I won't buy it again.

Terrible Brushes. I've used them 5 times to gesso canvases and panels and the hairs always fall out. At first, I thought that some will fall out and then it will act normal. But no, every time I use it, the hairs stick to the canvas and I end up having to pick them with a tweezer. I have no use for those brushes now.

When I bought this product, I was convinced that the hair from the brush would stay securely in the nickle plated sheath, however I was completely mistaken. When I applied my first coat of Gesso a few hairs fell out, I thought maybe they're just loose hairs from production and that that would be it. I waited for the layer to dry and, 1 hour later, applied another coat with the same results...

I purchased this brush to gesso canvas with. The claim in the description of -

"Brush hair is permanently bonded in nickel-plated brass ferrules, so the bristles won't find their way into your painting."

- is just not true. After my first coat, I thought, "ok it lost some bristles on first use", but by my third coat, it was worse and I stopped using it.

It may work for other applications, but who wants to pick hair off your canvas for fifteen minutes after each coat of gesso...
