Hi Everyone; Newb here. Appreciate your patience.

I'm putting together the JB-4 as my first kit and having a ball.
Sanded the body to 400 grit, used an air compressor to clean away remaining dust, then used a damp cloth.
Now the surface feels rough, like I never sanded at all ? Is there a preferred method for cleaning before finishing ?
Just felt like a brush won't cut it ? Should I sand again and avoid the damp cloth ?

I got the colourless dingotone kit, but scouring the build diaries, I really like the some of the deeper natural tones people are getting. If I apply multiple stain and intensifying coats from the colourless kit, am I still likely to get deeper tones each time or does the colourless kit do just what it says ?

Thanks Guys
