I use a straight razor blade or well sharpened gasket scraper. Been in a machine shop for 26 years so scraping, filing, sanding, lets just say I've done plenty and have a good "feel". Never tried the bristle brushes. I imagine they work well. Believe it or not, there are applications (machining castings) where those things are ran in milling machines to deburr parts. I've never done it, just seen them in catalogs. Some of you guys mentioned Scotch brite/Roloc discs. If you use what we do, you can seriously screw up alum. They do a good job of final shaping welds. They are expensive also. I buy from Klingspor, much cheaper than #3M.
