    So am I, immediately before applying a coat of oil-based finish, but not for dust removal between grits, because it adds an unnecessary delay waiting for the white spirits to dry before starting with the next grit. I'm far too impatient for that.

    Default This Finishing Thing.

    Hi All,
    Depends on what I have Turned, & how good I have finished with what ever Tool I last used.
    80G sometimes, 120 other times, through to 400, & if need be up to 2500, & as someone said either Tootie or Tissue Paper, leaves an amazing finish, & if I'm Turning at 3000 RPM. then I finish on the same speed.
    I fairly touchy on my finishes, as I like it spot on, & the Speed makes no difference, well not on my work anyway
    I certainly do not resort to Brushing The Dust off on my work, & I like my finish.
    I have of late been using Neil & Pauline's " Aussie Oil ". Great Stuff.
    Been Turning some Lace Bobbins, sanding up to 1000G as I never brought any more with me, Paper Towel, next the The Oil, maybe 2 - 3 Coats.
    Great Finish & quite pleased with the finish, but to go straight to raw wood, wonderful.
    Regards,
    issatree.
    Have Lathe, Wood Travel.
