Default TimberLuxe application question

I'm adding some TimberLuxe finish to a stock. I'm applying about four dabs with my finger trip. I wipe it in with my fingers and then wipe with the gain. I get some long streaks in the finish. Any recommendations would be appreciate to get a nice surface streak free.

Try wiping with a rubber glove on your hand. Or even wipe with a cloth.
Welcome to the struggle.

I always do a finish wiping with a synthetic cloth like ladies nylons (am I aging myself?) to get a lint-free and streak-free polish.

Brian the rubber gloves did the trick, no streaks. Thanks for the tip! Craig

I use very fine cheese cloth. Place cloth over bottle, turn upside down, fold cloth so the wet side is on the inside. This way if there are any lumps of particles they stay on the inside of the cloth ball & don't get on the wood finish.
