Bruce,
Instead of all the trouble and if you don't like to use a brush, I would
suggest to use your fingers .
If you want to have your fingers hold more pollen take a peace of sand-paper
to rough your skin a little. ( use only fresh sand-paper, type 100 or 80 and
was your hands before...)
Hot Regards
