Swansdown - One mop or two?

[Gumby]

Hi all

That is the one and only purchase of a swansdown mop.

Thats is my dollars worth, you experts must have another opinion.

Seeing as how this thread is totally lost, I reckon I can't hijack it any more.

So , how fast is fast when you condition a mop, and how fast is just nice when you are actually using one to buff and polish?

Schaf,

I bought my first mop from Neil in October, so I'm not (yet ) an expert.

The first thing I did was to put the mop in the drill, take the B'n'D workmate outside, put the drill in the jaws of the workmate, lock the triger on, and went at it with the 16 grit.
I continued untill there was almost no more fluff being produced (about five to ten minutes) and about ten square meters of yard were covered in fine white fluff :eek: .

Then went straight to using it on a coffee table (which I brought outside, t'be sure, t'be sure) and had no problems at all.

Maybe you didn't get all the fluff out the first time?

Ours are on the grinder shaft and run at 1750 RPM.

See! That worked well didn't it?
By the way I bet Neil liked the idea of attacking the mops with 16??? grit(sounds like road gravel) Good for sales!
The sun is shining here in godzown and it's going to be 30C. I'm going to put on my sunnies and venture out of doors. There. I feel better now!

Well done!


Mwahahahahaha :eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks for the answers guys. So Shane, where are these pancakes?

[Gumby]

I thnk we've missed one of the biggest benefits of the swansdown mop. That is the ability to be always polishing WITH the grain.

You're right again , I finished my bedhead with a swansdown mop and ever since I've been trying to get a bit of fluff on it. SWMBO says if I succeed and she catches me, I'm dead meat.

Shave your fluffy Swansdown white boy (Where's the smiley for singing?)

HH.

[Grunt]

I say you should forget the mops and use pancakes instead.

[HappyHammer]

If I had a pancake I'd flip it in the morning
I'd flip it in the evening all over this world
I'd flip out danger
I'd flip out warning
I'd flip out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over, all over this world

Do do do do, do do do do.

I didn't know pancakes had grain
