![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/0/7/6/1100076-15517-25-720.jpg)
After using the wash, Phil showed different techniques for taking some of it off. Use your fingers or a cloth for just taking off some excess on panels and leaving the panel lines looking as if there was a pin wash added. Here Phil shows one of his excellent high grade sanding sticks used to take off more and leave a satin finish to the panel. Many techniques were learned by the attendees during this blog!
