Title: For the toolbox...
Post by: Brewcrafter on May 05, 2018, 09:43:27 PM
There is a LOT of experience on this forum so I am guessing most folks may already know this.  And elsewhere I mentioned how eyeliner brushes make good reel cleaning brushes, but today just added a new item to my toolbox out of my local pharmacy dental section - GUM Proxabrush.  These tiny little disposable soft brushes designed to get between your teeth are perfect for reaming out tiny passages and threads.

Will check that out. Tired of getting yelled out for missing toothbrushes.
Tight lines, Brendan.

1) small brushes that come w/ electric razors, clippers, groomers, etc. are pretty good
   ...smaller & narrower than a tooth brush

2) good 'ole pipe cleaners may not be so obvious to non-smokers

I'm old enough and yes, have an arsenal of pipe cleaners as well, they are great!  But for you young folks (or anyone living in the People's Republic of California) you have to be PC and go to the Art Store and look for "Chenille Craft Sticks"... :D :D
