Stripping filigree - use gun cleaning brushes

May 23, 2009 2 Replies

Those little brass brushes can really get into the nooks and crannies



- they go down to .17 caliber. Perfect for getting into tight corners of wrought and cast iron filigree.

And especially quick if you put the into a drill.

That's quick, but it flattens out the bristles in no time flat. I just do it by hand, cleaning off the brush with an air gun when it gets loaded. Slow, but effective.
