A & B Wiper Supply products can be found in national chains as well as local hardware and paint stores throughout the country. There are several things to consider when purchasing wiping cloths and wipers for paint applications. Our most popular wipers for paint and hardware distribution are based on several factors:
Chemicals: Many
times products used for paint removal can also strip the color
off a dyed wiper. This can cause a problem if the painters equipment
or painting surface is damaged due to dye bleeding off the wiping
product.
If strong stains, thinners, or other chemicals
are being used, we suggest white wipers only.
Surface: Used clothing or wipers with assorted constructions can be abrasive to sensitive surfaces. If a painter is working on an expensive or time consuming project, a cheap wiper will have no savings if it takes more time to complete
Performance: For specialty staining, faux finishing, or smaller detail work it’s essential to select a wiper that will enhance the painters’ performance. Cheesecloth, specific terry products, and ultra soft finishing products are the most popular for fine detail work.
POPULAR PAINTING PRODUCTS: We’ve listed our more popular items for painting which all are packaged in our well known retail boxes.

Size and weight are the two factors to consider when buying a drop cloth. Paint stores label their drop cloths differently. Generally you’ll find products labeled “heavy” or “pro-weight” etc… Industry standard classifies drop cloths by oz/ sq. yard. To compare what you are selling now to our quality drop cloths use the below chart to see what the competitors’ drop cloth quality actually is:

Another essential component to a quality drop
cloth is the weave. If the drop cloth is porous, it WON’T
work. Hold the drop cloth up to a light, if beams of light can get
through, paint can too!
Call today for more information on how
you can become a distributor of our quality wiping products and
drop cloths.
