I have been testing the Micro Stix out and really, really like them. I have used them for helping hold when I paint small accessories or road wheels.

But they are so expensive, especially considering that after they get paint on them, they're effectively trash.

....unless someone has found a way to clean them in order to reuse. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have tried them also and I agree. I found that after they stop sticking so well I still use the stick part but I dunk the former sticky end in Mr Hobby Masking Sol Neo. It works just as well and I have not needed to purchased anymore of the Microstix though I do have a good supply still.

Cheers
