Quick Wood Tux Question

[ACSTravis 14]

Hello all,

What does everyone who uses WTW do about fuzzies? I mean when it is applied when the wood is wet, obviously there can't be any sanding, so what does everyone do?

Thanks

I dont use WTW but you can still buff out a deck when its wet using the 3m pads and a Makita 9227. With Ready Seal you can even buff the deck out AFTER you apply the finish should an area not look so hot.

We rarely apply it wet. We prefer to apply it dry. Just looks better in my opinion. Sorry.... :cup:

Remove the fuzzies before application. Use a defurring pad. Tom @ ACR Products sells them if you need some.

I agree with BNR. Let the wood dry at the surface. You can then evaluate the wood. Though you can work with soaking wet wood, I don't like the results either.

I did a few steps for this one lady - basically I was at this house doing a little of this - a little of that - yard work - tree work - some painting of window sills - cleaning out the gutter with the pressure washer - and then cleaning her wood and then staining them. Just low end residential maintenance jobs -where wtw worked, was I stained the wood immediately after washing it, it was like 3 steps and something I didn't want to have to come back for. So I ragged off the water and put a first coat of stain that looked like some lemon fizzy bath, let that settle and brushed on a second coat and then collected my check and left. WTW has it's place. But for high end jobs - I learned my lesson, just wait for it to dry out and defur. Once defurred or sanded I guess you could then neutralize and then stain.
