Princeton's synthetic mongoose is comparable to the original’s quality, yet more durable. Synthetic mongoose performs beautifully in all viscosities of oil paint. It is stiffer than sable but softer than hog bristle, with a tapered point excellent for painting detailed, controlled lines. The synthetic fibers offer greater durability than natural hair.Details:Flat shapeAvailable in multiple sizesSynthetic mongooseSeamless metal ferruleComfortable touch handleFine point and tapered edgeFor use with oil and acrylic paint
