Making a Silicone Soldering Brush

[Jim]

How to make a silicone soldering brush.
You won't believe just how well these work. I wished I'd had one of these years ago. No more burnt small paintbrushes and you can custom make any size of these you wanted, thick bristles, thin bristles, solid etc etc
A great bit of kit!

I like that....makes tinning easy.  Bonus round was no annoying music!

Thanks Mcgyver, I *REALLY* wish I'd known about these years ago as well. I've used hessian sacks, wet rags, stainless steel brushes and of course ruined countless small artist brushes.
They work brilliantly and are as cheap as chips to make.

That's a pretty cool idea.  I've seen and used silicone brushes (for cooking/grilling) before, but never thought about using them for soldering (but then I'd rather weld than solder anyway).
