Moisture of isoprop. alcohol plus clean gasoline (not such for the cars).

No shed hairs on the MG chemical brush. It also keeps its shape very well, whereas the generic acid brushes tend to deform a little with use.

^talking about the horse hair version.

By some art brushes for painting. I use boar hair paint brushes. Entire set for under 10 dollars. I've seen the odd hair fall out once or thrice per brush, under the microscope, but nothing I'd call shedding. Jerry Q brand, if you care.
Probably the best $10 I spent for soldering/PCB work. I end up using a few of these brushes in the garage shop, too. Awesome.
The ferrules often work loose on the handle end. But that is easy to fix when it happens, if you're anything less than useless.

Since they're mass produced, it's apparently cheaper to just crimp the ferrules to the end of the wood handle, which makes them loose. Just pull the handle out and taper it for a proper friction fit to the ferrule.

Good idea. I'll try that.
