Your message to the List was discarded and bounced to my mailbox. I am 
not sure why the List discarded it, but most likely it has to do with 
your Email address.
I decided to forward the message to the List anyhow.

> I have a suggestion about the finishing method that

> to:
> "WITH SOAP HOT WATER. USE A DENTURE TOOTH BRUSH OR
> SMALL SCRUB BRUSH. RINSE WITH HOT WATER."
> In my experience, wetting a carving with water raises
> the grain.  After the application of the Krylon it
> should be lightly sanded with 350 or finer sandpaper
> to remove the standing hairs that the wetting causes.
> The Krylon causes them to be brittle enough to break
> off easily. Be careful not to round off  the corners
> of any tool marks you want to retain. Using the tip of
> your finger or a paper smudging tool that is used for
> charcoal drawing will allow you to get in to any
> concave areas.
