- Freehand cut lines into corners and along ceilings. A flat lays to a line well, but the tool that cuts one cleanly is an angled sash — the 2-1/2″ Millenium (47372).
- Maximum thirsty coverage. On rough, absorbent exterior surfaces where reloading is the bottleneck, the same-width oval (47322) or the 3″ flat/oval carries more.
- Glass-flat oil and varnish finish — natural white bristle (Hyde Extra 47382 at 3″, or the 47380s) lays oils off flatter.
- Lacquer/shellac/strong solvents (chip brush) and surface prep (46xxx wire and stripping brushes).
