Dye inks are not the only things that fade quickly..

[The Hat]

I had a paint brush on my kitchen window for a job I intended to do last year, Yawn..

I went to use it the other day and taught nothing of it till I also needed a smaller brush and that’s when I noticed the big colour difference in the handles, both brushes are the same age..

Not near as expensive as inkjet inks but still subject to the same environment condition that are present and cause widespread fading of lots of objects..

Must be the harsh climate in Ireland.

Consider moving to where the climate is gentler, say Death Valley or Siberia.

, say Death Valley or Siberia.

I’ll get my sun glasses and jackets..

That's why I never buy 40mm paint brushes

Would 1½" be more resistant to fading?

Would 1½" be more resistant to fading?

Yes a 38.1 mm brush is much more resistant to fading.

Yes a 38.1 mm brush is much more resistant to fading.

Better still, a 1.9 mm less chance, I reckon..

Is that the "new" math I've heard about? 🤪
