John, that business about ferrules is merely saluting the flag. Did anyone
ever dip a brush far enough into pl-pd solution to hit the ferrule?
Some of the better hake brushes do use stitching instead of metal, but I
myself think hake is good only for smoothing gum emulsion, wouldn't try to
spread emulsion with it (though I daresay some pl-pd-ists will not agree).
Also, I'll add that the stitching is no guarantee -- I've had stinko hake
brushes with dandy stitching.
