What's their returns policy like in case of a dud?

Einion

I've seen that to. But no 1 isn't there anymore.
It's a waterpaint brush, i'm a oilpainter. I don't know if it works for oilpaint.

Marc

Enion, Cheap Joe's has been around a long time. You could contact them about their return policy.

Marc, Most oil painters use watercolor brushes for painting figures because the handles are shorter that oil painting brushes. Kolinsky is the best sable.

I know that. But i use short handles and flat brushes. Only for small detail i use a round one with short hairs. Only Kolinsky is the hair in my brushes.
It seems that these are longhair Kolinsky. And they are very difficult to paint with when using oils.

Marc

Joe,
Thanks, got my order in.
John

Marc, I gather you use a different style of painting, maybe the W&N #7 "miniature" brushes would give you the stiffness you like.

Where do i buy them for a good price. Here in the Netherlands W&N # 7 is very expensive (where not).
Are they in these aution to??
