Finally, on to rubbing out the finish. I think 11 months is long enough to let the lacquer cure
There was a lot of overspray on the sides so I had to start out with some 400 grit first. Then, some 600 grit wet sanding and steel wool.
I think in the future I'll make some effort to shield surfaces from overspray to save some time and effort.
Next, pumice stone. I used the opportunity to try out an idea I've had for a while.
I haven't found a local source of good felt pads and they can be a little pricy online, so I tried large felt furniture pads.
They actually work pretty well on large flat surfaces, but for angled our curved surfaces the thinner flexible pads are still the way to go.
After about two hours work, one side is done
