Just ordered a quart of this inspite of the intended use as a spray. Highland says I can brush it using "...a good quality foam brush...", and by not working the application too much. Oddly, their website didn't seem to offer good quality foam applicators. Can I trust local sources?

I'd sure like to hear some advice. The project at hand is from a serendipitous find in sweet gum. When I sawed slabs out of it, there was extensive spalting that I want to retain in a finished piece.

I've carved a very shallow bowl, more a tray really, working with axe, then adze then scorp, travisher and planes. So far, the result looks appealing to me, and I like to feel the transitions, arrises and slight tool marks. I almost want to leave it without a finish.

The best foam brushes I've found are from Woodworkers Hardware. They're the only ones I've found that don't disintegrate when used with shellac.

Those are the ones I've been using for years. Last ordered 3 boxes of 48 from Amazon for about $19 a box. Haven't looked lately but they probably still sell them.

Good to know Amazon has them, but WW Hardware is far cheaper.

35¢ each for qty: 48, at WW Hardware vs 51¢ each at Amazon.

That's definitely a better price
