So there I was putting a tire patch over a worn out hole in the tube of my backpack blower and I was using a little acid brush to spread the rubber cement. I love those little guys because I can chuck them into the trash and they come in boxes of 100 or more for pennies. This morning before I went out to pick up sticks, I had our big stiff bristle brush out for cleaning my boots. Its long and thick handled, good for cleaning garbage cans or truck tires. I am a fan of metal for grills, but the cast iron crowd has taught me about how easy chain mail scrubbers work on my cast iron pans and I want a chain mail brush now that my wife dropped one of the little scrubbers into the undersink waste grinder. Which brushes do you favor?
We've just ordered a new Yard brush Couldn't get them while we were in the E.U. - Only allowed metres
I like the cheap chip brushes--the two inch ones are great for basting meats, and the one inch ones for glazing pastries. For painting, a good natural bristle brush carefully cleaned and dried after use. We have a few that are at least 15 or 20 years old. A good Palmyra broom for sweeping the patio and carport. Sorry Zigs can't get a "yard" brush. Perhaps he can order one from Palmyra . . . .
I forgot that I started using paint brushes in the kitchen. I do not care for those silicone rubber type that are sold so often now. A lot of thin sauces just do not work well with that finger style brush.
A good, old-fashioned broom to sweep the entrance area and terrace. Nothing can clean uneven surfaces like those, not to mention the corners. They are also good for removing cobwebs when we need to evict spiders from where they want to live. We have plenty of room for spiders around the house, but please not right outside the doors.
I am like MG ,, just give me a bunch of chip brushes ! I can do anything with them ! I restored a three story Victorian house using chip brushes !
I am afraid that once again we are two peoples separated by a common language. I have tried to reference a lobster grimbler. I have shrugged my shoulders. The large spoon is for a big butter churn. There is a hook for dragging logs or ice blocks. There are some buoys for nets and traps. These are not items usually found in Alabama. My DW hails from Maine.
