Default Floss Your Breech Plug

I have a lot of dental work & use Oral-B Super Floss to floss my bridges. They're designed to for cleaning braces, bridges and wide gaps between teeth.
BUT I figured out another use for them. I use them clean my breech plug hole.

They're a long strand with a stiffened end, about the size of 30 lb. monofilament fishing line for threading between teeth. The strand has regular floss and a spongy floss.
I'm using the .25 cal acp breech plug conversion & the stiff end threads right in to the small breech plug hole.

When you finished with the breech plug, you can always us 'em on your teeth.

Great Idea... thanks for the hint. Do you use the mint flavored?

I will have to try that. Also get some fuzzy pipe cleaners. They work well also.

I use Power-Pro braided fishing line in same way for this... its not as stiff, and a little difficult to thread through, but works great. And, I've always got extra spools laying around.
Great idea....thought I was the first to think of it!
