Brown Paper Bag Final Sanding?

[-MIKE-]

I learned that there was usually some free and available newspaper any and everywhere, within reach of windows. Chamois, not so much. :-)

[-MIKE-]

I'm still laughing... it's not getting old. :-)

Brownbagpaper? sold in packs of one for $24.99.... on sale at Woodcraft,

4 for $100.

Not a lot of chamois laying around the barracks.

Should work even better if you rubbed a bit of jeweler's rouge into the paper.

I used it again today, to knock the dust off of the spray satin topcoat I put over the dye. Was faster than a synthetic buffing pad I normally use.

So hit the BX/PX, boy. Doubletime!

One of my guys used to, and I emphasize 'used to' clean his glasses with paper shop towels. Scratched the s**te out of the coating on his polycarbonate lenses. Paper is fibre. Fibres have 'ends' on them...those are scratchy. Do not use TP to blow your nose for any extended period of time during a cold, you'll end up looking like WC Fields.

Your Dutch heritage shows. I remember Dutch TP as about 80 grit. Ouch ...

[Robatoy]

LOL!!...that brown stuff was brutal! (But did the job.)

I have found a better way to clean windows, have tried the news paper with ok results. Use a window cleaner and wipe off with a microfiber towel. The micro fiber towel will not swish the dirt around but will capture and retain the dirt. Additionally car wax will help prevent the window from getting dirty again as quickly and will remove those tough spots.

---------------------------------------- Next thing will be the red corn cob, white corn cob, red corn cob story.

[Robatoy]

I don't know that story, but my imagination is begging you not to tell it.

[Lew Hodgett]

-------------------------------- A story that can only truly be appreciated by an out house connoisseur.

It is an old bathroom joke consisting of two red corn cobs and one white

- in a box with a cellophane cover and a notice that said "In case of emergency, break glass." It went on to give instructions something like "Use red cob first. Then use white cob to see if second red cob needed."

Pulp paper is made from wood, rag paper is made from cloth. Pulp paper is going to scratch a LOT more than

100% rag, as my test on shellac with a sheet of printer paper bore out last night. Use it for smoothing anything short of the final glaze coat on French polish.

[Neil Brooks]

Yup.

I've been using the brown paper bag idea for quite a while.

Only slightly off topic: newspaper is probably the best thing to use to clean glass (eg, your windshield). Seems the ink acts like a fine pumice.

[Gerald Ross]

Sicilian TP used to be described as "Non-skid" by us visitors.

[Lobby Dosser]

The UK variety used to be incredibly slick. Not really what one looks for in a TP ...

[Swingman]

Ain't it amazing, the depths of scatological depravity to which a simple, innocently initiated thread can sink on the wREC?

I didn't take me long to realize you get about 24hrs for any useful information, then you can literally stop reading. :-)
