Hi All!

Would somebody tell me the proper techniques for obtaining a silk finish on
wood turnings! Am I not been patience enough. I never seem to be able to
obtain a really perfect sand finish. It is just a matter of starting with a
100 grit or so and advancing to 400 or more? My sand paper clots at grits
over 250. Do you clean the sandpaper? Will a water paper help. What are the
advantages od water paper over regular. Its wood I'm sanding not metal.

Help
Please

Keith
