Source for cutters and fitches

[John B.]

Hi folks. I'm new here, so please bear with me while I learn my way around.
I'm going to be painting some exterior wall jobs and am looking for a source for
some new fitches and cutters. It's been a LONG time since I've done this type
of work and my equipment needs updating. Thank you in advance.

They don't sell them at your regular sign supply store?

I'd think in NY, there has be at least one old school sign supply place left?

John B.,

I have had good luck with 1 1/2" cutters with synthetic bristles from Purdy and other manufacturers.
Most of my current hand-painted work has been with water based paints, Moore Aura and Impervex especially.

I also regularly use Princeton "fitches" from our local Jerry's art supply house, and actually just picked up some Scharff lettering quills there too.

I DO miss my old school Grumbacher and Banner fitches!
