Over the years I have used a fixed blade X-acto style knife to remove the wax plug in my brass tubes.
Having a hard time finding replacement blades. Is anyone using something different and/or better?
Thanks in advance.

I also use soft clay or Play-Dough to plug one end of my tubes. I've turned a hard maple dowel to withing 0.005 diameter of the tube and use this to push out the clay. Tolerances leave a perfectly clean tube.

I use an exact as well for this.
It depends on what size you're looking for.
Michaels
Staples

Amazon.ca carries quite a few as well.
