What are microbrushes?
Microbrushes are very small brushes, made of thin round plastic, not dissimilar to the thickness of a cotton bud with a small bristled end. They come in fine, medium and large.
These are ideal for applying a small amount of glue with precision in hard to reach places when you need accuracy.
They have many other applications: you can use them if you need to add a drop of paint into those nooks and crannies that your paintbrush just cannot reach.
You can even use them to remove small areas of paint that you may have inadvertently painted by adding some paint thinners to the bristles.
