The guy at woodcraft suggested using regular old brown paper grocerybags, instead of 320-400-ish sandpaper, to knock off the raised grainafter staining. Well, I just tried it and it seemed to do a pretty good job.I remember talking to a friend of mine who does auto paint jobs andcustom helmets and hockey masks. He said that on the occasion he can'tfind any 2000-ish grit for his final inspection wet sanding, he'll justgrab some printer paper.

In news:ias8jq$71h$ -MIKE- spewed forth:Yup, an old finisher buddy taught me that trick and it works great.Brown lunch bag or newspaper works well too

That is why we are all here.Ain't it amazing, the depths of scatological depravity to which asimple, innocently initiated thread can sink on the wREC?;)

THAT, in a word, is why I love this place. A little nudge....and ZINGGGG off the rails it goes. . . . HOW many fingers does one use to punch down a loaf of freshly raised bread dough? See?

I thought that was the cutting board recipe. Does that work for everything Robatoy? I think I'll try it on my next set o' cabinets...
