    Default Shanes Tip!

    Well lets hope this one can create as much interest as the last tip!! Excellent!

    Ever sprayed something and then come back to find a fine rough surface caused from overspray?

    There are many methods to remove this, but try using the back of a piece of sandpaper. Rub very lightly and this should remove minor overspray problems. This technique is extrelmly useful on two part finishes..
    Have a go!!!

    Cheers

    You could also try U-Beaut Polishes, new, EEE - Ultra Shine. This superfine cut'n' polish wax is fantastic for this sort of stuff and also for getting rid of that feeling that someone threw a hand full of sand onto the finish whilst it was drying.

    Blatant advertising I know. But it's great stuff and worth telling everyone about.

    Cheers

    Gooday.

    We use the pink chux abrasive pads for that sort of stuff. Never thought of using EEE.

    Hi Guys!!

    I might have to try some of that stuff Neil. especially for my gloss work. Although, if the finish was a matt finish wouldn't it gloss the finish up using a polish??

    Also, The chux would scratch the surface??
    I have also used very fine steel wool with a finishing wax and that works, but does leave slight scratch marks.

    I guess it all really depends on the finish itself.

    I just had to use the ole' back of the sandpaper trick, and it worked great, no mess, no fuss, one whole table top done in less than one minute.

    Cheers

    G'Day Mates,

    For "rubbing out" your finishes.

    If you use the EEE with a little oil, the sheen will be lower, then if it is used it with water. The water, will also give you a clearer look in the finish.

    Also, depending on the coat, over spray can be easily "flowed out" by adding a little retarder to the coating.

    Yooroo,

    Mac
