For the LOVE OF. . .Acid Flux brush that doesn't shed?
DW1961:
I bought some HDX horse hair brushes from Home Depot and they are just garbage, shedding hairs everywhere.
Same thing on Amazon, people saying abut the boars hair and horse hair brushes.
Is it possible to use a nylon brush for cleaning flux? Or, would the flux melt the nylon?
Any suggestions?
Also, what type of alcohol should I be using? I tried the 70% iso, but it doesn't really clean that well. I mean, after a while, it does the job, but it doesn't really just cut right through it. Also, what type? Do I need "lab quality" $9, 000, 000.00 per oz, or can I just get some 99% iso from a beauty store for $8 bucks, and call it good?
As always, thanks.

The 5 for $1 bent metal acid brushes always shed hairs, it's the nature of the ferrule. If you want to spend slightly more, you can get wood or nylon handled brushes (a little like tooth brushes) with natural or synthetic hairs. Techspray, Chemtronics, Titan, Brush Research, etc.

Can I just modify a normal nylon bristle toothbrush?
Vgkid:
I bought a bunch of cheap tooth brushes. I use 3-4 for different levels of clean.
westfw:
Nylon shouldn't be affected by most common solvents, but I'm not sure what the body of a toothbrush is made of, so it could be more soluble.
