I have sometimes removed dust by wiping the end of a fiber with my glove. That seems to work well. Wiping it with a lint-free cloth also works but can leave a thread behind.

===A Lesson On Fusing===
Jim said I should score the wing before removing it. That will help to guide the cut so the razor blade does not nick the cladding. He also suggested using sandpaper, maybe even 400 grit, on some of the fibers, but Dr. Jones said I should not do any sanding to remove wings. I tried using 5 micron grit on some of the practice fibers, but the fine grit was little help for removing wings.
