Same up here but just discovered that most marina supply shops carry them. I prefer Corona and Wooster. I do use a Purdy ox/china for trim. (oil) Good glass finish. I think its called Ox Angular.?

purdy with the stiff blue brissels, forgot the name, but man you can drag a line twice as far as any other brush with those blue brissels, they also clean up twice as fast.

Re: Trim Brush Whats Your Favorite??

Well, after reading this thread got me thinking
I was on an Int. Repaint Friday
So about five feet into cutting in with my Purdy I'm thinking about my poor Corona
(see B-B-B-Bye Corona)
So I go through my box and find a 2 inch Corona sash brush
I cut in the whole room with it
lol

Hey I shaved off 20% of my time over the 2.5 Purdy
To be fair, it was second coat
But still...

Now I'm on a mission to find Coronas out here
