Use 0000 steel wool to remove streaks in the polyurethane finish

Can I use 0000 steel wool to make a better uniform finish?

Best Answer

I would use a dual action orbital sander and wet/dry paper @1200 grit a very wet sponge to dampen the area dont press down let the sander float and as the streaks are cut out the residue will turn milky, keep wiping and moving this high grit with water will leave a mirror finish, I have used 800 & 1000 to remove larger imperfections but the 1200 works best in my opinion. (agree with JPHIL dont use steel wool)
