    Default Phosphor bronze brush advice please

    Im now so gatvol of these brushes literally disintegrating.

    Then the bristles end up embedded in my skin and pretty much everywhere !

    Are there better quality (longer lasting) phosphor bronze brushes available in SA or are there better alternatives?

    Thank you

    Had the same problem... Switched to bore tech. Seems to last much longer

    Remember to keep all the cleaning liquids away from the brush. Most "nitro-sol" and bore cleaners will remove copper fouling and dissolve brass, reducing the lifespan of the bronze bristles radically if it comes into contact with it.
