 Re: Weighted swab ends

I use single braid nylon cord. I melt the end with a lighter to seal it, then insert a piece of a steel nail into the braid above the sealed end and then knead it down to the end. The metal is totally enclosed within the nylon and so cannot scratch the bore of the instrument.
