<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2941713, member: 15199"]I do not use toothpicks, rose thorns, or plastic toothpicks. I prefer a bamboo skewer that the tip has been soaked in " the solution" you use for a couple of days. Bamboo has hollow tubules and will draw the solution ( if water based) up into it like ink in an old fashion ink pen ( if you are old enough to remember). Then as you use it a film of the "solution" will be moistening the tip and keeping it pliable and lubricated. Then a very high quality artist brush similarly soaked will brush away debris. A cheap brush with bristle just glued in rather than with a squeezed metal collet will just fall apart. Dry bamboo or toothpick can scratch. IMO. Do not try while driving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
