Madre bercadang nak mengecat semula dinding rumah, tapi rasa ragu2 bila ke kedai menjual berus cat tertulis label Bristle . Habih tu camne nih! Puas tinjau2 kat Mydin Mall, terjumpa berus cat dari bulu kuda (Horse hair)..memang mahal , jauh lebih mahal dari yang lain2.. tapi takpe ....
KENALI BULU KHINZIR (SECARA FIZIKAL/MATA KASAR)
Tanda Kasut Kulit Babi
Bulu babi juga Allah bg karakter khusus....hujung bulu dia bercabang. Byk digunakan utk berus cat, berus utk pastri, berus songkok, berus kasut dll. Mmg ada kes sblm ni di mana premis yg telah mendapat pengesahan halal dr Jakim menggunakan berus pastri yg diperbuat dpd bulu babi. Ada juga peniaga melayu yg menggunakan bukan sbb sengaja, tp tak tau berus tu dpd bulu babi.
Sapa yg suka masak tu, jgn beli berus yg dibuat di China atau Taiwan sbb mostly mmg dr bulu babi. Beli jer berus plastik yg dibuat dr nylon...mmg keras sket..tp lebih murah & kita tak was2 nak guna.
Gambar kulit babi & bulu babi sy attachkan. Kulit lain tak sama dgn kulit babi. Even kulit rusa (nubuck), texturenya lebih kurang kulit lembu. So far, tak pernah lg sy jumpa kulit lain yg serupa dgn kulit babi. So, klu ada 3 dot tu, mmg confirm la kulit babi.

BRISTLE
Hog, boar, and pig hairs are called bristles because of their stiff and coarse appearance. They are actually so stiff that they were used as the balance spring in the first pocket watch. Bristle has a relatively uniform body with natural curve and a “flagged,” or split end. The curve is either removed or reduced during the boiling and preparation of the bristles. Interlocked brushes are made from hairs that have been boiled for only two hours so that some curve remains. An interlocked brush takes advantage of the curve; the bristles are assembled so that the curved bristles oppose one another. As with a broom, this helps keep the tip from splaying to give better control.
One of the desirable characteristics of hog bristle is flagging-the multiple tips provided by split ends. The greater the flagging, the better the control. Wild hogs have more split ends than the domesticated animal. Currently, the best hog bristle comes from China, where there are more wild hogs. Bristle from the Chungking province of China is said to be the best.
