Use nylon brushes for Blue Wonder Cleaner?

Should I get nylon bore brushes to apply B W Gun Cleaner to bores? Since the package says to apply it with a brush and it dissolves copper, I assume it will dissolve my usual bronze brushes.

  Here is what Ken sent me: "Blue Wonder Gun Cleaner contains less than one percent (1%) ammonia. and will not harm brass brushes, firearms or you. We suggest that you squirt some of the gel into a small bowl or dish, or right onto your workbench and then roll a brass brush in it until it is well coated. Brush the gel through the bore several times and then repeat this so that the bore is well coated and saturated. Then, let it sit for a while. 5-10 minutes for normal cleaning and longer for heavily fouled bores. After it has had a chance to work, run the brush back through the bore a few times and then run a patch on a jag through the bore (in one direction only) to push out all of the gel and fouling. Or do what I do and wad up a piece of paper towel or toilet paper and push it into the bore until it fits tightly and then push this through the bore with your cleaning rod. This works great as it forces its way into the grooves and pushes everything out the other end leaving the bore very clean."
  
  I don't like or use brass brushes much myself and considered nylon as a substitute. Might get one brush and try it to make sure it does not affect the nylon.

  I've used it with the nylon brushes that come with Glock Pistols. Never had a problem with the brushes dissolving or anything and it works great. I just put my finger on one end of the barrel and fill the barrel up with the stuff and then let it drip down in to a bowl. I probably waste quite a bit of it...but I figure i coat the barrel completely. I wouldn't recommend this on a rifle though as you'll go through a whole tube on one gun [:D]

  I've used bronze brushes. Rinse them off promptly afterwards.
