Anyone know where to get these? I would love to have some 5 pcs or so, since they do get a bit dirty

Thanks

An alternative, if you want finer brushes Vidar, is to have a look
at some of the brushes that the female of the species uses for
make up, or even a small pigs bristle paint brush.

Thanks, bought the brushes, but the shipping was a bit steep on the cleaner. Super, just the kind of brushes I looked for

I could kick myself, I had a custom made gate brush for years, then gave it away with some projectors I sold in one of my ill advised attempts to finish with this hobby. At present am using bottle cleaners and a brush from a xmas cracker!

A brush is a brush Allan, as long as all metal is covered with tape
to avoid scratching.

I would avoid the type that has wound metal centres as they are ideal for scratching your gate, guides followed by all your films. [Eek!]

soap.com do a good range of brushes
