Thanks for that pointer. I agree with the hocus pocus point, although I must admit I was one of the slight mugs who stumped up $100.00. In fairness to Visible Dust, you can just buy one of their brushes for much less. I like reading Petteri's pontifications (perhaps he should be in line for the Papacy itself) and this one does not dissapoint. The brush method works very well for me and if it can be done with brushes costing peanuts, then that is great news. I have not noticed that the Visible Dust bristles either attract or repel each other after being 'charged'. It would be fun if the brush turned into a kind of spiky ball every time you did. Sadly it does not, nor does it discharge tiny bolts of lightning.
