oh oops wrong channel

2018-06-06 01:10:07 UTC  

Got a link? I need to order something like that.

2018-06-06 01:10:40 UTC  

????

2018-06-06 01:10:50 UTC  

cotton swabs are cheap locally though

2018-06-06 01:10:58 UTC  

These little buggers

2018-06-06 01:11:07 UTC  

These are foam, and tiny

2018-06-06 01:11:10 UTC  

@Windatica Yeah, leaves little cotton fibers behind though.

2018-06-06 01:11:28 UTC  

Got em for applying plastic coatings to my car

2018-06-06 01:11:35 UTC  

As some of the plastic trim is really intricate

2018-06-06 01:11:45 UTC  

o

2018-06-06 01:12:06 UTC  

Thanks

2018-06-06 01:12:34 UTC  

And as timsandtoms said, q-tips leave cotton behind

2018-06-06 01:12:48 UTC  

Big no-no with these semi permanent coatings

2018-06-06 01:13:01 UTC  

That link is the cheapest provider on Ali

2018-06-06 01:13:12 UTC  

They've also got medium and large swabs

2018-06-06 01:13:20 UTC  

The large will be good for the coatings but not much else

2018-06-06 01:13:29 UTC  

Medium would be good for cleaning USB ports and that

2018-06-06 01:13:49 UTC  

Small for mini, micro, C USB

2018-06-06 01:14:11 UTC  

For the cost of these versus Q-Tips(Cheap brands have annoyingly flexible shafts), these aren't much more cost, and they'll make cleaning on stuff that might catch the cotton easier much quicker.

2018-06-06 01:14:37 UTC  

Any chance you've done the legwork for mediums as well?

2018-06-06 01:21:28 UTC  

I bought small, medium and large

2018-06-06 01:21:33 UTC  

Hold on one second dear,

2018-06-06 01:21:38 UTC  

Right on, thanks

So as you can probably see, the big one is pretty useless for /g/ related use

2018-06-06 01:30:02 UTC  

I didn't realize it was flat, I could actually see that being super useful for cleaning electrical contacts

2018-06-06 01:30:12 UTC  

Got links to medium/large?

2018-06-06 01:30:39 UTC  

The medium is perfect for USB

2018-06-06 01:31:04 UTC  

Sure

2018-06-06 01:32:19 UTC  

These are the tiny pointy ones

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/189466684938125312/453732839981318147/IMG_20180606_113201.jpg

2018-06-06 01:35:45 UTC  

The large, are they just a tiny bit bigger or smaller than a USB port is wide?

2018-06-06 01:55:33 UTC  

I'll take a pic shortly. They're too big for USB ports afaik

2018-06-06 01:55:41 UTC  

The medium is a better choice

2018-06-06 01:55:54 UTC  

I'll stick one in my HHKB and see how it fares

2018-06-06 02:15:20 UTC  

@timsandtoms nein, too big
