I was tought by a very smart guy who occassionally shares his wisdom on
this newsgroup that the same trick helps to get "maximum bonding" of
epoxy to metal. Smear the epoxy on the degreased metal and then wire
brush right through it.

Makes sense to me...

Use sandpaper if you want to use that wire brush again. G

Stainless toothbrushes cost less than $2 at a welding store.

Which is less than what a cup of coffee costs these days at most "sit
down" restaurants here in Red Sox country these days.

I finally admitted to myself that I was getting old when I realized that
just the sales tax on a cup of coffee here in Taxachusetts now costs
about twice as much as a cup of coffee cost me when I first began
drinking it. (5¢) G

BTW, a couple of ounces of acetone still costs far less that $2 and will
clean uncured epoxy off a small wire brush well enough for reuse...
