Jim McGowen (Connoisseur Models) suggests soaking a new brush in PVA and let it dry before using. The brush lasts a lot longer so presumably fewer shards come loose when being used. A win win concept!
All I got from soaking them in PVA was something that felt like rubbing a twig on the model - lots of friction, no abrasion.
The pain of the shards is not too bad and disappears after a few days. Try forgetting you've just cut chilli peppers and going to the loo if you want pain.
Simon, I use a micro torch to solder which doesn't leave too much to clean up and minimises the need to use the brush.Ok, Max, how do you use them?

Then it is down to a scraper to remove the majority of the solder and finally I try to keep the length of fibre as short as is practical.
What tends to come off is more dust like rather than longer fibres.
