: Wear the respirator. All the time. If you can smell cedar you
: should be wearing it. Use dust collection with your ROS. It's
: cheap and easy nowadays. No excuse not to. Just like a
: respirator.

: NOW- Rob's advice here is what West's tech line told me, except
: they said to use a scotch-brite pad. Same thing except synthetic
: instead of metal. (Personally- I prefer steel wool unless I'm
: working on wood where there's a chance I might get particles on
: or in the wood that could potentially make black dots when
: exposed to moisture. You have to wear gloves, though, because it
: falls apart. Scotch brite pads just get dull like sandpaper.)

: West said to use it for the same reason Rob said- it won't cut into
: the glass in the underlayer.

: I sanded down to the glass and used steel wool. Problem solved.

I like steel wool too, just remember there are a wide range of grades of steel wool from very course to very fine, just like sandpaper. It's also very cheap and a package will last a long time.
