[TowerTalk] Aluminum tarnish removal

[Chad WE9V]

I use Scotchbrite (non-metallic scouring) pads for cleaning exterior
surfaces.  To clean inside the tubing, where it mates with the next
piece of aluminum, I visited the plumbing department and got these
pipe cleaners for cleaning the inside of copper pipes before sweat
soldering.  The ones I got were all metal except for a plastic handle.
 I cut off the plastic handle and mounted the rest of it in a drill
for much faster cleaning.
