Thanks, Morzh - I was thinking the same thing. It works now, but no telling how long before something goes wrong. I'll pick up some film caps as replacements.

Tab- interesting "solution" (sorry...) - but I don't smoke. What is the role of the ash here, does it prevent the brush from being too harsh and scratching the brass? Wonder if a torn up paper towel might serve the same purpose...
