Scrappile Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I've been using something like this. I was a little afraid it might tear off some of the fragile pieces, but it hasn't bobscroll and Wilson's Woodworking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I use the wife's nail abrasives but I should use the one Scrappile has shown quicker I think. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Prozora Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Leave it to a child to teach us some thing. I never would have thought of that myself. I usually use needle type of files myself but do use a mac mop on smaller items. Great job on the cutting tho.. Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I use a sanding mop but I think I will now start first with a stiff bristle brush like Uncle Rob and finish up with a sanding mop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson's Woodworking Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I use a sanding mop but I think I will now start first with a stiff bristle brush like Uncle Rob and finish up with a sanding mop. I have been doing it just like this but I agree. The brush is going to come first from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I use a BBQ wire brush from the dollar store ,very low cost and worthless on a BBQ grill as they are too fine but perfect for scroll work. Steve Scrollsawgood Workshop.com Has videos of how to make a sanding mop or flutter wheel with strips of cloth sanding belts and a bolt two washers and a nut.Beats throwing away you broken sanding belts as they want 25 bucks for a sanding mop.!

keefie Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Dick, I personally prefer the toothbrush as it's more gentle on the very fragile pieces, but for less fragile pieces I have used a stiff brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 All I've ever used to remove the fuzzies, is an electric detail sander. It makes no difference how fragile the cutting is, I've never had any damage caused by doing so. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Boy I was gonna reply up at the start, but I sure Enjoyed reading ALL the after posts. My younger Daughter also MANY years ago gave me the same idea the lil gal above did. Just a Light weight hair brush. Just stiff enough brissels to knock the DANG lil Fuzzies off.

heppnerguy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 hey. I was at the store yesterday and decided to see if i could find a really stiff toothbrush for removing fuzzies and I ran across a toothbrush for dentures. It is considerably larger than a regular toothbrush and a lot stiffer. the cost was only $2.49. So I picked one up. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
