As hair for the macro brush, different starting materials are suitable.
From the hair of a cleaning brush to an eyelash anything is possible. The smaller and more sensitive the object to be cleaned, the finer and more elastic the brush hair used should be.

The stem of the Macropole is a simple match in which the head is cut off.

In one end of the match you cut with the cutter about 7 mm long slot. A pin is inserted into the slot to spread the slot. The brush hair is placed there with tweezers and the pin is pulled out again so that the slit closes.

Along the length of the slit rub one finger of glue around all four edges of the coating.

Then wrap as quickly as possible - before the glue dries - firmly a thread around the splice. So the thread is permanently fixed and can not slip. Cut off loose ends. Done is the brush
