Shake, Rattle and Roll

[ratrodsrule1]

Have seen so many ways to install graphite, most of which are of the shake, rattle and roll method. Saw a vid of a guy applying it on the face of the wheel near the axle head as usual then whisking it under the axle head over , over and over again with a small tipped artist or women's eye make-up brush. It appeared as though it was doing a great job and didn't waste a lot of graphite. There's brushes and there's brushes. Anyone ever tried this and if so what size, shape, bristle variety or item number do you use ?

Walmart art supply, cheap paint brush like .39 cents, scissor cut the bristles down to about 1/4" dip and brush. Make sure you get any loose bristle pieces off the brush First
