While sanding this cap last night I ran out of bottled water in the workshop and didn't want to traverse the long journey across my patio to the kitchen. I did however spot a half can of Diet Mt. Dew that I didn't finish earlier. I thought, "well, it's mostly water, I don't really want to stop mid way through, and what's the worst that could happen?"
I was not expecting what happened next, and thought that I would most certainly have to break, go inside, probably get distracted and have to finish the part later.
I usually use bottled water with a drop of dish soap and some dishwasher rinse aid. I forgot to even add either of those in and continued to the next grit using my 3M sanding pads. What I saw before me was truly amazing. The resin of this cap got shinier than I have ever achieved before from sanding. I hadn't even used Micro Mesh, Zona Paper or Magic Juice… I don't even think I will need to buff it!
This is going to be a huge time saver and I am using Diet Dew from here on out! Hopefully my customers like the fresh citrus scent!
Happy April everyone!
