Stainless Steel bristles for use with Steel or Cast Iron
Your brush is constructed from high tensile stainless steel bristles secured in the brass handle by epoxy resin.
Precautions and Safety Instructions
DO NOT USE STEEL BRISTLE BRUSHES WITH FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS Steel bristles produce sparks which will ignite volatile solvents or vapours.
You are advised to wear eye protection when using the brush as fine particles or solvent droplets can be propelled from the work area at high speed.
Do not use near live electrical cables or terminals.
Do not use near hot engine or machinery parts.
For use by hand only, not to be mounted in power tools.
Cleaning Brushes If brush gets clogged with grease or grime drag the bristles backwards on rough concrete or old carpet. Rotate the brush as it is dragged and most of the debris will be gone. This will also help reshape the bristle tips. Brushes may be washed in suitable solvents or hot water and detergents. They may be placed in boiling water or autoclaved, but do not use until cool. Shake out any liquid from handle. Store dry. Rejuvenating your Brush The bristles are very durable, but eventually will wear down or fatigue. The bristles are secured deep within the handle and a new working set of bristles can be revealed by removing a section of the handle. Each brush can be renewed several times. Make a groove around the handle about 12 mm. from the tip with a triangular file. Complete the circular groove down to the bristles and discard the brass section. Cut bristles with sharp tinsnips or cutters to suitable shape and length. Do not exert any pull on the bristles whilst making the cut. Your brush is now ready to perform as new. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brushes with softer Stainless Steel bristles suitable for refurbishing aluminium alloy castings also available, and Nylon for cleaning.
