If I have to go to all that trouble - I might as well use the disposable Scotts towels. Do they work for applying a finish, or just for cleaning off when preparing a surface for finish?
Oh yeah - as for those micro-fiber cloths, I've been using them to help clean my woodworking projects before sealing. Can I also use them (a fresh clean one) for applying a wipe-on finish? Should I, or do I need to wash them first? and are the compatible with all finishes? (ie waterlox, oil based poly)
