Need a cheaper source for POR-15 Daubers

[frankengrant]

I want to do some rust prevention in my 300D and these Daubers look very cool, they are 22.00 for 6 of them though, which is a huge ripoff. I have found some cotton ones, but they have very short handles and are made for glass. Anyone have any idea where to get something like these without this huge markup?

Tried a hobby shop and home depot, home depot had nothing and the hobby shop had something like this:

Make some? cotton or other clean cloth, bind it with a loop of wire around the Cloth and there you go.. make them as needed and fully customizable..

Know what I just had an idea too, 12ga bore mops will work perfectly and they are cheap, about .75 cents each. And I can use them on a rigid handle as well when I need to apply pressure. I might make a few too, thanks!

You can buy cheap little brushes with bristle for less then $0.50 at Walmart and the big box stores, and the foam dabbers for less then that.
