Good tool for rust bluing(14/04/2010)
This is a nice brush to have around when rust bluing, it will take the excess rust off quickly without harming the finish. I don't like to get too aggressive when carding so I never use a wire wheel, and this brush is a great tool when you want quick rust removal without any damage. It's also way easier to use than steel wool in all the nooks and crannies. For example, it will easily remove that last, annoying residue around sights, in serrations and other hard-to-reach areas.
The bristles seem to hold up very well, they don't bend or break as easily as on other brushes. On the other hand, the bristles are a bit stiffer than I expected so you need to use a fairly light touch, or it can leave shiny streaks in the finish. I usually use it between the coats and use steel wool for the last coat to be safe, but I'm sure it can be used for the last coat if you "have the right touch".
