  • Publication number: 20140366298
    Abstract: A paint brush includes a handle having an attachment end and a grip end. The attachment end has an overall width larger than the grip end. A plurality of bristles is coupled to the attachment end of the handle by a resin. An extension extends from the attachment end of the handle into the resin and toward the plurality of bristles. The extension has a substantially planar surface that faces the plurality of bristles. A groove is formed within the extension and has an opening on the planar surface facing the plurality of bristles. The opening is sized and shaped to allow resin to at least partially fill the groove so as to further reduce independent movement of the handle with respect to the plurality of bristles.
