Has anyone tried the Mike Lavallee - Mack signature brush for scrolling?Looking for feedback and maybe where to pick one up in Canada.

Randy, check out Canadian Signcrafters Supply, they're in Bayfield,Ontario ,www.signcraftersupply.com / 1-800-663-9753
Pete and Marj Payne, real Sign People. They like phone calls, "faster way to work than emails," they say.
They've got the Hannukaine green handle brushes, the ones I rave on about, also the Jenson Swirly Q, all the good stuff for traditional signmaking, plus lots o vinyl too.
Ask for their catalogue, it's a great WISH BOOK!!
Paint on,
John Lennig / SignRider

I feel in LOVE with the "virus" scrollers from Lazer Lines! YET another Merchant/Advertiser here in Letterville.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the plug Pat! Mack is know longer making the Mike Lavalee Scroll brush. So if you do find one, don't get to attached. The most popular scroll brush (for us anyway) is the Series 444 "Virus" scroll brush in a #2 ($6.50). This is the brush Mack replaced the Lavalee brush with and almost everyone that has tried one has loved it! The Silverwhite is also a good cheap brush to try ($3.45). If you prefer working with a natural hair instead of a synthetic the Swirly-Q is also a good brush.
Just another shameless plug for Lazerlines.com!

I like the Eclipse liners from Dick Blick. I get the bigger ones and trim them down. It is a synthetic "hair" with a lot of snap.
Have a great one!

Go see Lazerlines and get some 444 virus's and some Swirley Q's. I like them both and find different uses for each. For the price you can get half a dozen of each without braking the bank.
