I go a step further; I periodically scrape off the glue, sand with a
ROS, buff with synthetic steel wool, apply 2 wiped-on coats of shellac.
Buff that with the SSW. Finally, I wax. That all may sound like a big
deal, but it doesn't take more than 6 or 7 minutes. (I don't need to
refinish the entire top; just the center section--the rest of the top is
obscured by tools.)
