What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing identifies the material as Plastic, but separately specifies CT polyester bristles, a hardwood handle and a stainless steel ferrule. Treat the general material field as unclear rather than as a description of every brush component. The listed enamel type is not an exclusive compatibility limit, as the manufacturer description also names varnish, polyurethane and lighter water-based coatings.
