Mack/Tidwell Monster Stix Better Half

Better Half earns its name as the go-to brush of the Monster Stix set — the one you reach for first, built for long lines, shading passes, and the detail work that fills most of a pinstriper's day.

This brush grew out of more than a year of development, with Jeral consulting one of the most well-rounded painters he knows — his wife Sarah — whose input pushed the set to a whole new level. Better Half runs a full synthetic filament mixture built for long lines, tiny details, smooth shading, and just plain rocking it out.

Rinse Better Half in mineral spirits after each session, work the paint out of the heel, and shape the synthetic filaments back to a point — it will come back for the next job ready to pull.
