List your favorite uses for Dental Pics.

Hi all

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a while for some dental picks but didnt’ want to shell out a lot of cash for em… now my local hardware store has a bucket of em for sale for $2 a pop…

so I was wondering what everyone favorite use of this tool is in model building…

so far i’ve used it to move and hold foil straps in place while I was superglueing them… and cleaning sanded plastic out of recessed lines…

so list your favorite uses here

I use mine for scribing as well as cleaning up lines and things as you mentioned. I just asked my dentist for a couple of old ones and he dumped a pile of about 20 on me!. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

What Steve said. I also like to use them for manipulating freshly glued parts till the glues sets.

they make good CA appying tools, also very good for applying dabs of paint onto instrument faces

they are good for apllying putty and using for different purposes on dio’s.

Hmm, they seem useful, I don’t use any but maybe I should start.
