LarryR TVWBB Diamond Member Nov 22, 2008 #1 How do you clean the "gunk" out of your eyelets? Mine are getting to the point where it's tough to thread a probe through them. My SO is in the dental field and I'm considering asking her to bring home some of her scaling tools to do a deep cleaning on my WSM LOL!

B Bryan S TVWBB Olympian Nov 22, 2008 #2 Rubbing Alcohol and a Q-Tip should work, or some Greased Lightning. Me, I'd just grab a drill bit and turn it through the eyelit by hand to clean it out.

Larry D. TVWBB Emerald Member Nov 23, 2008 #3 I agree with the drill bit idea - lube it with a little alcohol (rubbing, drinking, any kind should work).

Bob Hunter TVWBB Pro Nov 25, 2008 #5 I just use a small soft barrel brush I picked up one day at the gun shop. Works great.
