WOOSTER, Ohio—The Wooster Brush Company is proud to announce that one of their most popular paintbrush lines—Ultra/Pro^® Firm—has grown to include a new variety 3-pack. The Wooster 4188 includes one thin angle sash brush (catalog number 4181-1”), one angle sash brush (catalog number 4174-1½”), and one varnish-style brush (catalog number 4176-2”) all conveniently packaged in a resealable clamshell. When the Wooster Ultra/Pro product line was launched in 1985, these new synthetic brushes were unlike any other on the market. They had shorter filaments that offered more efficient paint coverage and better cut-in control. Fast-forward nearly 35 years, and even with all the changes in coatings over the last few decades, Wooster Ultra/Pro^® paintbrushes are still one of the most successful and imitated brushes on the market. In fact, the only way that the brushes have changed is by incorporating improved tipping processes to reduce drag. This speaks to how Ultra/Pro brushes, like so many Wooster innovations, are far ahead of their time.

WOOSTER, Ohio – The Wooster Brush Company is proud to announce the addition of a green, 16mm, roller gauge to extend the product line of the roller gauge system. These tools make a challenging application – controlling mil thickness – instantly more precise. Their innovative design helps with spreading, gauging, and back rolling roof and floor coatings, epoxies, urethanes, anti-skid floor toppings, metallic finishes, and vapor barriers. The four different roller gauges are color coded to the different mil thickness depths they’re designed to achieve; the colors are yellow/4mm, red/12mm, green/16mm, and blue/22mm. Wooster – exclusive roller gauges are recommended for use with 3/16-inch nap Wooster roller covers; please be advised that using different nap height covers will provide varying results. The green, 16mm roller gauge is described as the perfect medium between the 12mm roller gauge and the 22mm roller gauge. The 16mm was designed to work better with the coating materials that require a mil thickness of that depth. The precision of the roller gauge system also assures that the user doesn’t have to use a squeegee, therefore, eliminating another tool and saving time and money.
