Hand Rubbed Nitro Finish

[Eclipse Wizard]

Hello Hello!! What would be the best material to apply the lacquer? At the moment I'm using regular flannel and I'm getting alot of "fuzzies" in the finish.... Any suggestions?

I've used old cotton tee shirt material or even old cotton sheets ( well washed) for all my hand wiped finishes but I haven't wiped Nitro and didn't know you could. Flannel MIGHT work as a core for a French polish type pad but I wouldn't use it directly on the instrument.

That's what I was thinking. I don't know one could hand wipe it either, but I'm going to find out. Thanks Ned

I I think you are in for a lot of trouble trying to put more than one coat of Nitro on with a cloth as the next coat will melt the first. But give it a try you never know.Bill.'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
