Our in-house machinist/guitar repairman TK (Tom Kelly) taught him this trick that he used for polishing the throat on a rubber carberator:
Tear a piece of a cotton t-shirt in a long strip, and it will roll itself up and if you grab one end it will twist into a string-like rope. Then apply the DMT Dia-Paste to the rag.
Pull it back and forth in a “shoe shine” motion, angling it up and down so that it hits those sharp edges of the hole.
That’s all there was to it — this string will not break again. Thanks, Blake!

What kind of compound is being put on the cotton?
Diamond DMT Compound. https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-ceefa7bf/list/24M9PFJDVOUOW?tag=onamziandavli-20&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d
I use an old wound string in the same way without the paste, certainly seemed to work fine.
