I used an erasable pen eraser at first just to do the initial install to get the junk off the slip rings and brushes in and no load tested to make sure there were no other surprises then found a commutator stick on ebay which has a consistency some where between that of soap stone and lime stone, with a bit of chalkyness to it. I thought a "commutator stick" would be softer. I could sharpen a knife on it.
