Shoutout to my old boss for the worst advice ever
My first boss, Jerry, told me to always use a 6-inch brush on any flue liner, no matter what. Tried it on a 7-inch clay tile in a 1920s house in Pasadena last week and just pushed all the soot around. Had to go back with the right size and do the whole job over. Anyone else have a 'Jerry' story from when they were starting out?

So did Jerry ever explain his one brush rule, or was it just something he said and you had to figure out the hard way? That kind of blanket advice seems more about being stubborn than being helpful. Sounds like you learned the real lesson on that Pasadena job.
