lube 4 wet sanding shellac?

Mineral sprirts, kerosene, or paint thinner has worked for me.

Can't tell what lub is the best (I use mineral spirits, have no idea if it is the best) but I got mineral oil at a pharmacy. They always seem to have it.

Note that the more you have to remove, the less lubricity you want.

Leveling favors mineral spirits, polishing, light oil - vegetable ok. Mineral oil really slows things down, even the light stuff.

Yes, I've passed by a few times but have not had the money to stop in. I never walk out of a WWstore without lightening my wallet. I'll hit a drug store for mineral oil, we have one on every corner here, and banks.

You can pretty much always find mineral oil at a drug store, but it may be expensive compared to the gallon sizes at the BORG

Baby oil is scented mineral oil. I'd think you should be able to find some of that even in South Jersey. ;-)

A quick check of drugstores should do it, even unto the unscented versions.

Charlie Self I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.

You can get mineral oil at a good pharmacy (usually CVS is a good bet). They don't sell it at home centers or hardware stores. I know what you mean about the woodworking stores in South Jersey, but they wouldn't have it anyway. Did you know they opened a new Woodcraft in New Castle, Delaware? I don't usually buy from them but it is within driving distance.

I used paste wax, but I wasn't dealing with orange peel.

Walgreen, WalMart, K-mart, Rexall, Mom'n'Pop hardware, or whatever pharmacy you have locally should all carry mineral oil. OR Use a cabinet scraper and have it done in minutes without even building up a sweat. Here's one trusted source:

You callous heel, you, Yack.

I used mineral oil because I could sand longer. It was very thin, not a problem, wish I'd saved the bottle. I can't scrape it smooth because the piece is a table base with turned legs. Baby oil = mineral oil, never knew that, add it to odorless spirits, sand in the living room while I watch TV, wife will love the new air freshener. ;-)

Try using a card scraper. It will remove it much quicker and you'll have very fine control over the amount removed.
