Dont work like a dog sanding anymore! Use 3M softback sanding sponges! They fit on standard palm sanders, are very flexible, easy to clean (rinse with water), and last a LONG time. Tom is still using one that he started with in 1994. They work great for buffing between coats of finish and are available in 4 different grades fine enough to rub out finishes! Our favorite is the SUPERFINE grade.
Handi Painter paint pads are THE BEST applicators for large surfaces, way better than foam brushes!
Use foam brushes for small surfaces and corners.
Prepare raw wood surfaces using fine grit sandpaper such as #180-#220. Use #320 for sanding in between coats
