Q: I am redoing my floors and I am using a lamb wool applicator. The lambs wool is leaving little hairs in the poly.
Do you have any ideas how to prevent this?
A: I used to shake, vacuum then wash a new applicator and set it out flat to air dry. This will get rid of most of the loose fibers.
Maybe you can try a roller instead with a 1/4 or 3/8 pile.
