I have had the good luck to work with several people who make a nice
living doing yacht brightwork. They use a small shop vac with a brush,
one and all.

My yard does a lot of brightwork on large yachts. They don't use shop vacs to
prep anything. It's just not thorough enough. Water, then acetone is. A vac is
for cleanup, not prepping for cetol!!!
Moron!

So?

Also because they're probably lazy. And they require thimbles & shackles
on dock lines.

The results speak for themselves... a finish you can read a newspaper
in, and is admired sincerely by all who see it.

What do you think getting the sanding dust off a surface is?

Bubbles, you're nuts!

Doug, you cleary know nothing about Cetol. You don't use it and reading the can
doesn't count for much. Cetol is quite popular and I've tried several methods.
The one I use works best, even better than the acetone/acid wash suggested by
Sikkens. The sad part is that you haven't tried the method, so you simply don't
know.
Move on, little boy.
