Terry,
The easiest way is to use about a tablespoon of varnish and about half an
old, well worn & washed, 'T' - shirt. Hold the cloth, flat, on your hand,
and drizzle the varnish over it. Wad & kneed the fabric until the varnish is
thoroughly distributed. Store in a Zip-Lock bag.

For a much neater solution - use one of those 'Swiffer' cloths. A while ago
there was even one that came in a 'glove' form.

Regards & Good Luck,

mineral spirits or water - depending on the finish}

I remember reading about being able to make your own tack cloths (senior
moment). Does anybody know what the mixture is for making them?

Thanks
