Removing dust after sanding between finish layers

Post by Herman » Sun Aug 10, 2025 7:14 am

I always bought tack cloth at the paint store for removing remains of sanding dust, before spaying. (2$)
Now I discovered that a microfiber cloth from the kitchen does the same trick as good.
Better for the wallet and the enviroment. And always available. Try it!

I wonder if putting some naphtha on the microfiber cloth would make it even better?

IMO not necessary. But a try can't do harm.
