Wet Sanding Lubricant

Post by Dennis in Anola » Mon Oct 21, 2013 11:42 am

What do you guys use as a sanding lubricant? Is it worth the expense to purchase a bottle of Behlin's Wool Lube. It isn't available locally so shipping cost makes a bottle fairly expensive for me. I used dish washing soap on my previous two guitars.

I use real nitro lacquer as a finish and I just use water with dish soap. Hasn't failed me yet.
