Some people claim they get spiked and need to use gloves. I didn't have any problem using it barehanded. But bear that in mind.
It's much easier to get into the detailed sections than sand paper as well.
You may find something like one of the fibreglass pens works well for clean-up (http://uk.farnell.com/duratool/d0226...4mm/dp/2102028). Can be fitted with different inserts, I have some brass ones. But do use latex gloves because they're worse than wirewool for little bits.
