Pipe cleaners

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

Question for everyone. I use a set of tiny pipe brushes I got from Micromark to clean my airbrush, a Badger Universal 360. The problem I’m having now is that the smallest of these brushes that works well in getting into the tight spots on this airbrush is deterioriating to the point that it will not be usable soon.

Anyone know where I can get these small pipe brushes? I don’t want to get another set from Micromark since it costs more to ship them that it does to buy them. The wife wouldn’t like that on a recurring basis, which seems like it will be the case with these tiny pipe brushes. I’ve looked at places like Lowe’s and Home Depot but have not ever seen any kind of pipe brushes in those places.

being in the army i can get a steady supply of pipe cleaners but really i have found good ones at wal mart type places in the smokers section also a tobacco shop would be a good place

Any drug store. Look in the oral care section for “Interdental Brushes”. They are tiny brushes used for brushing between teeth.
