List your favorite uses for Dental Pics.
Posted by Delbert on Sunday, November 28, 2004 7:29 PM
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

Big Smile [:D]

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.

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