Vent: Found out my brush was too stiff from a forum post in Ohio
I was reading a thread about chimney flue damage and someone mentioned that using a stiff wire brush on terracotta liners can actually score the clay over time. I checked my creosote buildup logs from the last 6 months and sure enough, I've been scratching up a customer's flue in Columbus. Has anyone else had to switch to poly brushes mid-career?

Wait, are you saying the nylon ones don't grab the creosote as good?

Haven't you found that the nylon brushes just don't bite into the glaze the same way, even though they're safer for the clay?
