drill lots of holes in the stock does not look pretty but you can lose loads of weight and still get the best clean

I suggested that about five or six years ago when I firsted started WFP. Its a good idea as long as you are careful where you drill the holes.

Daz... Some people prefer to use the vikan. I've tried superlight brushes and I prefer the vikan mono red over them for cleaning. Its just a shame they are not lighte
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

on first cleans the vikan flocked sill brush wins hands down imo, they are just heavy, superlite for maintenace cleans are ideal

That's the one it's actually square with round edges, such a nice brush to work with

I found that the red surround would often leave red marks on the frames.  They come off easily if you clean them straight away but are awful if you don't spot them till next time around.

I've just bought one from cleanig spot a few weeks ago (best price i think)  its a good brush.

Until then I'd only used the 12" DT mono salmon, which now seems awful!! 2years with a rubbish brush!!!

I find the new vikan is a lot less likely to scratch the sills because of the rubber surround and also the rounded corners..
