Anything that doesn't fall apart/snap too easily. I've used garden cane before now!

20mm pvc conduit pipe cos you can tuck a rag inside, about £1.50 for a 2 metre length from toolstation or screwfix.

Yeah, 20mm plastic conduit. I drill a few holes towards the end, then feed weave a rag around it.

I use a long piece of wooden dowel about 10mm diameter. Cut a slit into bottom of it and a piece of folded up paper towel slotted in, sprayed with ISOpropyl

Same as superfli! Glad I'm not the only one.

....although I have once left a paper towel in a fork lower and had 'fun' getting it out.
