Taklon is the common name for a synthetic fiber used in paint brushes. Which is your favorite Taklon? * golden * brown * black

Un-Taklon

I'm not a synthetic fiber kind of guy.

Would need some free samples to run comparison tests… ;-)

Golden. They are my preferred brush.

Uhm … … that guy? As for synthetic bristle brushes, couldn't tell which are taklon, nylon, dacron, teflon, cling-on, polyester, 50-50 blend, Aunt Esther, or polyethylene. All I know is I should invest more in sable brushes. I have one that no matter how I abuse it, I just wash it and it is perfect. My dad got it for me 30+ years ago. Looking bristle fibers up on the interwebzes, apparently you can get badger hair paintbrushes. The thought of all those nekkid badgers running around is a bit disturbing. Also weasel hair. If they hold down and shave Pauley Shore for that, I would pay to make it happen.

Golden, I've never needed try the other colours as they suit my painting.

What are the alleged differences between all these types?
