(...) Toothbrushes can leave noticeable scratches on the surface of like-new bricks. "Static dusters" (as seen on TV! (tm)) work much better: no scratching, they can be used wet or dry, and they can cover a lot more area quickly. Steve (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Do you have a big lego model, that´s covered with dust between the studs? then, you need a toothbrush! A toothbrush is great! Remember, angle the brush, use soft, gentle brushes. It´s like brushing your own teeth. It´s a pretty slow method, but it (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
