Pro tip: stop using those cheap wire brushes on clay flues

I saw three different guys at the supply house last week grabbing those $8 all-purpose wire brushes for clay tile liners. They tore up the glaze on my last two jobs before I learned the hard way that nylon brushes are the only way to go on smooth clay. Has anyone else had to redo a flue because their brush scratched up the surface?

Using the wrong tool to save five bucks is the same story everywhere.

Three bucks more for nylon saved my last job from a scratch-up too.
