After turning a pen I sand to a 400 grit Abranet. I cross sand and then apply Myland's sanding sealer. I then use a clean cotton t-shirt to apply Myland's friction polish. Once the pen gets hot and I get the high sheen I like there are oftentimes small micro ridges on the pen. These are not present after turning just after finishing. I have tried blue paper towel. The ridges are more obvious on darker woods. I do not have a variable speed lathe and finishing is done at the same RPM's as turning. These ridges really bug me. Any ideas or different techniques that I should try?
