You go hunting through threads and links and get schooled. Recent finish posts by Brian Howard got me back to his site. As I was reading, he made a comment about not using solvents (mineral spirits etc) to clean a level sanded finish. Solvent will push dust into pores and becomes almost impossible to remove. I have run into this several times. did not understand the cause. Thank you Brian! I used compressed air as u suggested to clean, and it worked great. Mike |

Right - that makes perfect sense. It is probably one of the reasons that my finishes are often less than I hoped. I will give that a try. And it is great that you give a sincere thank you to the source of knowledge and experience. |

I spent a few days in Brian’s shop about a year ago. He’s a great dude and I learned so much about all aspects of the finishing process. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
