| The recent post by Saitobricks.ca about the Bricklink branded duster has me wondering
if an ordinary make-up brush would work as a viable cleaning tool for my collection
of sets on display.
My collection of sets on display has expanded quite a bit recently. In the last
year alone, it has gone from only three sets to seven sets at the current time.
It's becoming a bit of a chore to keep them clean and dust free of dust.
More sets are in the planning stage for later on down the road.
Anyone have any experience cleaning lego with something like a make-up brush?

I think they are using the side with the soft hair, not the one with the metallic
handle

I recommend a paint brush.
Jang has a good video on dusting LEGO.

It depends on the brush. A wide cheek brush is not going to work. Built LEGO
has too many nooks and crannies. I use a soft synthetic acrylic paintbrush from
the art store. It's kinda pricey ($10-15) but leaves no scratches.

I have. I got my wife to buy a blusher brush? It works really well (when I can
be bothered to use it). It's soft enough not to cause damage to the Lego
itself or the build and the static just attracts the dust and it can get into
small areas, to brush the dust out.

With mine anyway, very useful to dedust PC (like fans - don't forget to block
them never let them turn, etc), or yes, at the lowest speed to dedust a LEGO
model (assuming you've not loose parts like plates round to make a river...)
of course.

| I use almost the exact opposite - something that sucks rather than blows. The
problem with blowing dust is that it has to go somewhere, often just in the air
ready to settle again. It is the same with brushes unless you get one that collects
a lot of dust through static. I prefer the combination of a brush and small desk-vac.
The brush to loosen and tge vac to remove it.

softest touch.

No, They are just my old tooth brushes that got a little worn out so now I use
them to clean up our Lego.
