Brown Paper Bag Final Sanding?
-MIKE-
bags, instead of 320-400-ish sandpaper, to knock off the raised grain
after staining. Well, I just tried it and it seemed to do a pretty good
job.
I remember talking to a friend of mine who does auto paint jobs and
custom helmets and hockey masks. He said that on the occasion he can't
find any 2000-ish grit for his final inspection wet sanding, he'll just
grab some printer paper.

Yup, an old finisher buddy taught me that trick and it works great.
Brown lunch bag or newspaper works well too

They're also good for removing light surface rust without damaging a
finish such as bluing, I've been told for forever not to cut
cardboard because it is abrasive and will dull a knife. I've been
ignoring this for forever and just sharpening the (various) knives
when they get dull (from whatever reason).
And speaking of rust, the first thing I try on light rust is a coarse
terrycloth rag with some light oil (auto trans fluid works well).
This will usually remove rust with a good scrubbing, but won't harm
bluing or other finish.

It's been discussed here a number of times in the past. AAMOF, nothing
work like a brown paper bag on the final coat of shellac a week after it
cures.

I've never used shellac.
What about it makes the paper so good?
What's it doing to the shellac?

Is this a variant of the turner's trick of grabbing a handful of swarf
to burnish the finished workpiece? I thought that was mainly
heat and the resins and sap doing a quick polish. I'm partial to the
waxy-string method, myself.

> What about it makes the paper so good?
It is abrasive. The guys that do knives use it for final sharpen/
polish, I believe. A "paper" wheel, IIRC.

The friction heats the shellac just enough to burnish it, and it is
just rough enough to both cause the friction and then burnish it super
smooth.

I learned the newspaper window cleaning trick years ago and I will
always use it to clean glass. Just water with a drop of dish soap and
newspaper is sooooo much faster than any other method.

It really is worth giving a try. I use it all the time on items like
picture frames or furniture that does not get high wear. It is
inexpensive, easy to pad or brush (with the right technique) and dries
fast.

Or to put it another way, the friction warms the shellac and softens
it on the surface. And then the burnishing effect of the paper smooths
the shellac.
That won't work the same on a varnish that cures with oxygen.

I have found a better way to clean windows, have tried the news paper with
ok results. Use a window cleaner and wipe off with a microfiber towel. The
micro fiber towel will not swish the dirt around but will capture and
retain the dirt. Additionally car wax will help prevent the window from
getting dirty again as quickly and will remove those tough spots.

It is an old bathroom joke consisting of two red corn cobs and one white

"Use red cob first. Then use white cob to see if second red cob needed."

Dutch TP used to have a greyish-brown color, like faded brown bag paper.
Color like that. Texture indeed close to 60-grit sandpaper.

For you city folks, who don't have much experience in outhouse design and
implementation, it may seem a mystery.
But as a country boy, who had to dig and build outhouses from time to time,
there is a practical consideration. It has to do with volume. If enough
people use one hole, you will fill up the ground hole and make the whole
outhouse experience extremely uncomfortable. By going to two holes, you get
a more even distribution of, cough, cough, well, you know.
Back in the day, they just used to drag the outhouse to a new hole/location
when one started to fill up. But when folks (and livestock) started to fall
in to the old holes, somebody came up with the two hole design. By the way,
I have seen three and four hole designs.
And for the real classy outhouses in snow country, they have styrofoam
seats. Much warmer on the behind when using the facility sitting down in
sub zero weather.

Yup.
I've been using the brown paper bag idea for quite a while.
Only slightly off topic: newspaper is probably the best thing to use
to clean glass (eg, your windshield). Seems the ink acts like a fine
pumice.

The pink crap you get in large parts of Africa is no better (I think
it's actually french).
The brown/yellow stuff is "scottish" TP, isn't it??? (hung out to dry

Now that 10/31 has pasted, guess it is safe to post an old country boy
Halloween trick.
A pick up truck and a 300 ft length of 3/4", 3 strand rope are
required.
Back truck up to within 50-60 ft of chosen privy.
With one end of rope secured to rear bumper of truck, pick up other
end and circle target privy staying at least 50 ft away just in case
owner had moved privy a few feet to expose pit.
When back to truck, hook rope over bumper and drive away.
On a good night, bagging 30 privys is not unreasonable or so I was
told.
