Vent: Had to choose between a standard brush and a poly brush for a really narrow flue in an old Albuquerque house.

Went with the poly, and it got the job done without a scratch, but I'm curious if anyone's had a different result with metal in a similar tight spot.

Your "narrow flue" situation is a perfect example of a simple rule. The softer tool is almost always the safer bet in a tight space. It's why I reach for a plastic scraper before a metal one on anything delicate.

Reminds me of my buddy who gouged his antique desk.

Yeah, the "softer tool" rule makes sense, unlike my buddy @joseph_hunt who treats everything like a tank.
