Tips on How to Deal With Dust & What Makes for a Perfect Buffing Cloth

See how a vacuum bristle attachment and an old sock can help with your next project. 

CONQUER DUST

Sanding dust lurks everywhere—in the air, on your clothes, and in the pores of the wood. Simply brushing or blowing it off only delays its inevitable landing back into your wet, sticky finish. To eliminate dust once and for all, use the bristle attachment on your vacuum — and you won’t later find it dried in your finish.

SECOND LIFE FOR AN OLD SOCK

Hand puppets? No, not this time. A soft, worn athletic sock makes a perfect buffing cloth for applying Minwax® Paste Finishing Wax, the best preservative I have found for protecting an old finish on a cherished antique. Sure beats throwing those old socks away!

Until next time,

Thanks for stopping by!
