I make and use a lot of dubbing brushes...usually with Ice Dub.

I know there will be differences... material to material... but in general I don't get really bushy spikey brushes...and there are times that's what I'd like to get.

I'm using a dubbing brush platform that has a 1/2" trough to hold the material and it seems that as the wire is twisted to be tight enough to hold the material securely the material rolls on itself and the brush ends up rather tight ...not bad but there are times I would like to get some bushier.

Using a platform without that trough does not seem to make any difference.

Anyone have any ideas or hints?
