Re: Flake reduction

2008-01-08 by john dean

Hi Richard,

How's it going up there?

I use a large horse hair type drafting brush and I've never had that
problem ( that I know of). I brush very hard, horizontally, then
vertically. However, if you are using a very stiff synthetic fiber
bruch you might end up brushing too hard and either breaking off
fibers or scratching the coating.
