I have a project that I have just finished sanding. What is the best way to
remove the sawdust before finishing it? I seem to remeber reading something recently to stay away from tack cloths as they leave a
residue?

Thanks.

Scraping. It is a whole art of it's own:

A scraping blade must be burnished:

Handheld blades:

Scraping is an aquired art to a degree, especially in conditioning the blade.
But it leaves wood very very smooth.
