It has its uses on awkward shaped objects but with very fine Micromesh grits now available, it there any real need to use it for general purpose finishing?

I found it created more issues than results so I stopped using it in favour of wet sanding and micromesh. A good strong magnet wrapped in cling film will be your friend to get rid of the filings from you workpiece.Originally Posted by Simon Barden

Thanks troops, I thought I was merely following PB recommendations...now I am somewhat worried, yes using a strong magnet is no problem, but tell me more about micromesh...I do feel as though I need to improve the finish after three coats of colour before I move on to the finishing stage. It has looked great for an hour or so after application but then seems to deteriorate somewhat, which is why I used the steel wool...now I am really considering how to get a classy finish before I move on.
Thanks again...it is such a lovely looking instrument I do not want anything less than magic.
