Cotton Wool

[grannyscoobs]

I keep reading threads where people are re-coiling attys using cotton wool, now is it the cotton wool ive got in my cupboard in little balls or is it some kind of special cotton wool, im confused....

Hi granny scoobs

Its the cotton wool pads (100% cotton)
They get seperated through the middle to make them thinner then cut a piece into a strip and roll it lightly then pretty much treat like ekowool,silica

Ill see if i can find a you tube to explain better

Heres a good tutorial (some use the cotton balls but recommendations are towards the pads although i must admit i tried it a while back and just found it weird )

not sure what anyone els is using but to test this out I used the cotten wool from a coten bud just pulled the head off and teesed it out rolling it up gently then passing it through a micro coil worked fine

I have never managed to get cotton wick to work. Not sure why. Will stick to silica and ekowool.

Bamboo wool is the new cotton wool!
No need to faff around with getting the right thickness or pulling the cotton wool strands to the correct shape.

Colour me interested, I use cotton wool a lot, and more gets chucked out cos I've pulled it all apart than goes in the coil.
