Default Question for Bristol Finish users

I hate washing brushes and I'm going to try the six coats in a day method
up at the boat were brush cleaning will be difficult. I also don't trust a
cleaned brush until it is thouroughly dry. Since this is a two part
system, I don't imagine wrapping the brush between coats will work. So, it
sounds like disposable brushes.

How well does BF work with foam brushes? I've had a wide variety of
success with these depending on type of finish material. For some things,
they are the best choice and others impossible.

I'm not after a showpiece finish here. I just want it to pass the
straight face test.

I don't know about BF but I used foam brushes with Interlux Goldspar which
is a single part polyurethane and they left a nice finish. Watch those air
bubbles...........
They did start to go mushy after a while so you might need quite a few if
you have a big job.
