How do you know when MM is worn out? The higher numbers are so smoothe that it's hard to distinguish worn from new.
Also, aside from tapping or brushing the dust off, how and when do you wash it? And approximately how many pens is a 1X3 strip good for (with or without CA finish)?
Also, does a BLO CA finish darken the wood more than a shellac friction polish, or is it just my imagination (or lousy technique)?
Also the 1500 MM grit that is rated as the equivalent of a 400 grit actually feels finer than a 600 grit wet/dry. Again, is it my imagination?
