I have decided I need a Glass Fiber Pen - these have been mentioned by Tony Greenland and Sam Dwyer in their respective books. I can't find any locally - I tried Radio Shack, Home Depot, & Lowe's. Nobody has them. Any on-line retailers that you all are aware of?
EDIT: I know that they are on Ebay - just checking to see if there are other sources 1st

You might try auto repair stores in the body repair section. Glass fiber pens are used to clean small nicks in the paint before doing a touch-up.
Here in Canada, I bought mine at Canadian Tire.

Quick note on the pens -BE Careful a while ago I got some of the residue from mine in my eye - it really smarts! the dust you will get on your hands is ground glass so be careful

Actually, glass fiber brushes should NEVER be used dry, always wet, and you should always wear a dust mask--the little bits of glass fiber dust are very lung unfriendly. Eye protection is a good idea too.
