| | Re: crevice cleaning Try going deep with your first cut so that your second or intercepting cut will cross the first one so that the sliver comes out clean. |

| | Re: crevice cleaning Acouple suggestions for you. First and of course the least expensive, get a set of Rifflers, they are very small files in all shapes and sizes, quite inexpensive, or secondly a dremmel tool works wonders with a few inexpensive bits of different shapes and sizes. Personally, I have both but really prefer the dremmel (being as I already had one) it does a great job.

| | Re: crevice cleaning my advise is, get your tool, preferably a rather flat gouge, real sharp. also make the corners lead a little behind,,, then go in with one clean cut from the one side, and then form the other side with the angle as large as your crevice allows... do not poke...try make shaving cuts....if done right, no clean up neccessary afterwards, only two cuts well placed, give a nice clean crevice... |

| | Re: crevice cleaning If all else fails, get a denture brush, spray the affected crevice with Mean Green, and use the brush on it. Rinse with water, paint/tint while damp; or let dry and paper bag it.
