: Hi Ken;

: James pretty much summed it up. As for the type of rag, I'll just dig through
: my pile and select one that doesn't leave lint or strings, it isn't very
: critical.

: I was first introduced to this many years ago in high school woodshop. ALL of
: our projects had to be varnished with a rag, nothing else was acceptable.
: If you've never tried it before, you'll probably be surprised as I was at
: the ease of creating a great finish. When you've gotten to your last coat,
: simply proceed as shown on one of the "varnish faq" pages to get
: to a high gloss.

: One thing is certain: You should never see a run or sag again!

: Good Luck, Spidey

Just dip a rag in there and rub it on, hmmmm........
