>Is there a trick to using a lambswool applicator for floors, getting it so it doesn't shed, I ran my hand through it a bunch, vacumed it, blew it with the air gun, & moistend it with mineral spirits & it still shed on the first coat, (sample 3 ft by 4 ft table). I have 30 to do with varathane #900, dark stained cherry.

thanks

>try masking tape, the stickiest kind (see label for time span it can be on, prior to being removed). Stick the tape on, then peel it off. I've seen this recommended for paint rollers, probably would help with lambswood as well.
