Thread: Swansdown - One mop or two?

Mine's in the bottom drawer in the desk in the shed, the one the vice covered in crud is attached to. I bought it to use instead of my 'obnoxious boot polish brush' & have pulled it out a couple of times now to get a good shine on some shellawax cream on a 'rough n rustic' burl. I still use the 'obnoxious boot polish brush' to get the cream out of the holes & cracks & it helps to get rid of the fluff too.

Cliff..Whats boot polish??..Is that the stuff I use on leap years when I change me jocks!

At the moment I have a couple of pairs of my kids old fleecy PJ's and these (having been washed a zillion times) seem to do a pretty good job (if you remember to remove the buttons first damhik). No fluff for Squizzy but I don't do a lot of fancy finishes and I don't have a lathe .

Cheers

We found out what fleecy PJ's were when we shot through from Cairns Mate. People look at me funny when I tell them we used to turn the ceiling fan on in the main bedroom and leave it on for nine months .

My daughter's initials are PJ and she rarely gets called by anything else.

See. You're almost back on the subject. :confused:

Jack. I see a little thread digression here.

Squizzy. You can use the mop attached to a drill or grinder. It is exceptionally good for polishing odd shaped articles that you can't get any purchase on using cloths. Have a look on the main site.

We used ours mainly for polishing trophy bases and a small bottle carrier. Saved hours.

Phhewww, thank goodness for that, I thought it was another manual labour thing headed my way.
