My trick is to dip the brush in water before I put it into the mixture, which stops it from going on too heavy and dark. Amazing what a difference it makes to the old production line!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AaronPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-39346162780744945402017-08-28T23:45:34.813+09:002017-08-28T23:45:34.813+09:00Thanks Mike!

I use Minwax as I've never mastered the "Magic Wash" mix with Future floor wax.
