I usually do the latter with the cotton swab, just easier. Handle material has a way of mysteriously changing dimensions just a frog hair right before installation..........so it seems. I seal off the handle with a light tapeing and wax and then one pass with a swab of FeCl will usually do the trick. Neutralize with baking soda or amonia, clean up and wax it all. Takes a little practice but what doesn't?
