Tack rags need to be broken in. If they're leaving goo behind, they're useless. They do make tack rags that don't leave a snail track, the blue ones...

Good thread.... it's a long process, and as my Dad used to say, you never stop learning until they shovel dirt over you....

for me, it is/was a little bit of everything....learning to be patient, let the sealers,primers and paint cure before the next step, learning that unlike a car i was painting, #600 paper only caused problems.. and that wood grain is good.... those small imperfections may not make a plug look as pretty, but they are a paint and primer magnet...I've alays been a tinkerer.. no matter how well things work, I'm always trying to improve it.... some times I do.. some times I dont....

A good run is better than a bad stand!
