Hi, What types of paper towels (or other cloth) do folks use for applying the final polish, finish, and wax? I prefer paper towels, for the simple safety reason that they are easy to cut small and fold, minimizing the risk that they catch and get wrapped up around the lathe (and, in the event that they do, they will simply rip and tear, rather than dragging my hand in there as the lathe spins). Maybe that's irrational, but better safe than sorry.
Anyway, the issue I have with them is that they always feel a little coarse, like they are leaving microscratches in the finish. Are there particular brands or types that folks feel are "softer" and better for the final stages of finishing?
