I have just been reading Tage Frid's 3 volume collection on woodworking. At the end of volume 2 he talks about finishing using NC lacquer. He suggests that, rather than using sandpaper (or rather wet and dry used wet), between coats the surface should be scraped with a cabinet scraper (you know, a piece of thin steel with a hooked burr pulled across the work).

It seems to make sense and accord with my experience with using scrapers rather than sandpaper on the raw timber - it certainly gives a much better surface in that application. But before I give this a go, I just wondered if anyone else had tried this and if so, what the results were like and whether there are any wothwhile tips.

TIA
