We tried if for my wife's condition. The "good feeling" fades fast as
I had to touch up with pant or clean marks off the wall ...get the
fasteners back in correctly.
A careless bunch of workers. No more duct cleaning for hire. Seeing
the method, they used I can make the tool and do it IF I was ever
inclined to do so.
That makes my wallet heavier.
