Scratch Brush Set Refill - Fibre Glass, a replacement brush in glass fiber

A replacement working part for the Green Stuff World set of scratch brushes. The filling is made up of glass fibers, that is the hardest of the refill variants made. The fibers bear against the surface individually, so they follow the shape of the part and reach even into recesses where a flat tool would slide off the edges. The refill is used once the original fibers have served their time; the handle from the set thus stays in service.

Use

• removing rust and oxidation from metal parts and from brass photo-etched parts
• cleaning the surface before painting
• taking residues of paint off edges, rivets and fine engraving
• roughening shiny metal so that a further coat holds on it
• replacing a worn refill in the holder from the brush set

Who it is for

The refill is intended for those who already have the holder from the scratch brush set and need to renew its working part. It will be appreciated by modelers working with photo-etched parts and with metal accessories, by figure painters cleaning metal castings, and by anyone who wants to keep their tools working without buying a whole new set. Choose glass fibers where the most effective variant is needed; for fine and soft surfaces a nylon refill is more suitable.

This is a separate replacement refill: neither the handle nor the other fiber variants are included in the package. Glass fibers break into sharp splinters, so work in gloves, do not inhale the splinters, and wipe the work surface with a damp cloth once you have finished.
