Afterwards, you've got to clean the surface where you apply the fiberglas brush, since it may leave some residue of little fiberglas particles. I had an old rectifier that had a layer of solder on the pins-- wouldn't fit into the (otherwise) correct tube socket; the fiberglas is pretty abrasive, was able to abrade enough from the pins to make a good clean contact.
