To those people who use their swansdown mop for oil and/or wax finishes, do you use one for oil and one for wax; or one for both?

If buying from Neil get 4. Spares never go astray. :D
You need a dedicated mop for each finish you are using. i.e. One for Shellawax, another for oil, etc. etc. ( how'm I doing so far Neil?)
This is an unpaid commercial, but Neil has the BEST Swansdown Mops.
, here is a Reaper for you.

This is a prime example of a serious question from someone who wants a serious answer on a topic which is giving him some cause for concern being highjacked by the so called comedians for some unfathomable reason.
, unless I have completely missed the point, this should go to the 'Absolutely Nothing to do with Woodwork' or the 'Jokes' forums.

Now its 5, oh no, 6, counting yours
Lighten up Jack!!
I do beleive the question was answered, by you, as well.
Al :)
I think that this is pretty good for this BB. At least the question got answered before the thread was hijacked and there hasn't been any mention of pancakes. Oops, has now.Quote:

So just to re-cap.
When we whip Jack into a lather we need a separate pancake for each of us, as well as each finish we use ,that's a stack of pancakes.
The best pancakes come from Neil, who lives near Swansdown. If we do the wrong thing will hijack our coffee, go to sleep, run off track, and cut off our mops with a red eyed sickle.
O.K. I think I've got it.

Think I'll stay indoors and for some unfathomable reason post some more non serious (amongst all the serious ones) posts.
No need to appeal to as he was one of the so called :eek: comedians. :)
So JackoH relax and have a pancake or two. It might make the Red mist disappear. :D

Hi all
There seems to be plenty of smart_ A on this BB. I purchased a swansdown mop at the last Brisbane Working Wood show and now all I get is Fluff stuck all over my work.Very disappointed in this item.
I use it on the lathe to polish carved pieces and am not happy with the results. Have followed the advice given on purchase about roughening the surface to remove the fluff but as I said above very disappointed.
That is the one and only purchase of a swansdown mop.
Thats is my dollars worth, you experts must have another opinion.
Regards Schaf
You must have done something wrong Scaf. We have used them for years and provided you "treat" it right the first time there should be no fluff at all.

From Ubeaut web site:When these mops are new they will shed a lot of fluff the first few times they are used, to minimize and control this shedding it is a good idea to condition the mop before using it. This is done by running the mop at high speed then putting a piece of very course abrasive (16 grit is ideal) in contact with the edge of the mop that is used for buffing. This will drag off any of the loose fibres with a controlled action. This can also be done using a hacksaw blade and a bit of care.
