OT - cleaning bores of target pistols

Prior to the 'new' forum format, there was an extensive technical post regarding the manufacturing process of the 'impregnated' plastic grips from the WWII era. I am not sure exactly what it was, but it seems that someone explained a 'resin fiber' was heat impregnated into the grip to give it more strength and allow it to be machined. One would hope that it isn't asbestos, but proper protective equipment should be standard shop practice. Abestos particles require a certain size filter since the particle size is pretty small.
