CannaBrush Hand Trimming Brush Questions & Answers
Is the Cannabrush faster than scissor trimming?
Yes on all fronts but bear a few things in mind. You still need scissors when using a brush to cut stalks and do a little finish work. It's minimal but worth noting. Depending on your strain and bud density trimming with a brush is much faster. Your technique will determine how fast, but we've witnessed 2x to 5x faster.
Should I pull on the paddles to get gunk off the tips?
DO NOT pull on the paddles! Great way to bust a brush. Clean with isopropyl alcohol. Comes right off without any pulling.
How long does it take to get good at brush trimming?
Not too long. You'll have to adjust your practices a bunch. It's very different. In our opinions it's also just more fun to brush :)
How long does the brush last?
We literally have yet to actually wear one out. The only way we've seen trimmers have to replace one to date is by pulling the paddles out to "clean" one. Ie they is some gunk on the tips, you pull on a paddle, annnnd it pops out. Good luck getting it back in.
Why is the handle so long?
The handle serves as a counterweight when brushing which feels a lot better in the hand. It also takes less force to paddle. We did a lot of testing. Everyone liked the heftier handle.
Why this particular length of paddles?
The longer the paddle the less precise the paddlin'. Longer lengths resulted in floppier, more erratic contact on the bud. We wanted to diminish contact as much as possible to protect the bud when choosing ideal paddle length.
Don't the paddles damage the trichomes?
Of course. Any contact with trichomes damages trichomes. That said, the paddles are resin resistant and brush past in a less damaging way than fingers rotating a bud with scissor trimming. So the answer is *less* than typical scissor trimming. Again if you are surgically trimming with scissors for a contest then use scissors. If you're wanting to produce any kind of volume use a brush.
Are stiffer & softer Cannabrushes available?
Not yet, but Cannabrush is hard at work designing various stages of stiffness.
