    Kristin,

    Be careful with the various Scotch Brite pads. 3M makes a variation of the pad that actually has abrasives impregnated into the fibers. Not what we want to use in our cartridges.

    Thanks Scott, I had noticed that, too. I'm looking for one that doesn't have that and it just straight nylon fibers. I have a scrubbie with a handle on it that seems to be just that. I'm trying to remember where I got it!

    The fish tank scrubbie probable doesn't have the abrasives, as it would leave the residue in the tank...

    I think the 3M blue non-scratch pads don't have the abrasives and would be the way to go.

    Has anyone tried this with an 801 cart/low bridge atty?

    Yes. I think it's perfect for the huge 801 carts with their weird shape.

    Yeah, avoid the green pads - they have abrasives! I changed the image to show a blue pad!!

    PIOT: I found bendable straws at the grocery store. They are narrower than McDonald's straws and flexible part may work really well in the atty - just expand or contract them...I'll let you know how they work!

    I'm willing to guess/bet that those are the exact same straws that I used. Got a bunch of them here at the house.

    But I didn't use the "bend accordion" part of the straw. I thought it might take up too much space, and not really yield much of a benefit.

    Looking forward to your analysis. I was playing around with this last night and had to stop. I was going through way too much 30mg liquid and was starting to feel the effects!

    OK, right now I'm trying actual sponge. The blue non-scratch I had came attached to a soft sponge. So far, so good. What have some results been with using sponge material in the past - anyone know? What about loofa?

    Yeah, the bendy part didn't have any added benefits, but the straw fits in the 510 cart PERFECTLY! Just have to squeeze it a little to slide it in. And I finally added the notches to the bottom of the straw and it's flowing even better!
