Norton Red Dry Tack Cloth

Norton Red Dry Tack Cloth

Conventional tack cloths can create all sorts of problems for waterborne topcoats with leftover residue causing poor adhesion and fisheyes. Norton's new dry, microfiber tack cloths are perfect for dusting between coats of water-based or oil-based finishes. A unique split-fiber surface captures dust and debris efficiently without negatively affecting the finish. Because these cloths are so effective, you'll have less dust nibs showing up as pimples when your next coat is dry. These lint-free, dry tackcloths can be washed and reused hundreds of times without losing their performance. You may never have to buy another tack cloth again. Excellent for general dusting and tool polishing as well. One per pack. Overall size 16" x 16".

Tack Cloth Tip:
Microfiber cloths can be washed, but care must be taken to use detergents free of perfumes, oils, or other contaminants. A better choice is to place the cloths in a pot of boiling water and slosh them around a bit. The hot water causes the microfibers in the cloth to straighten a bit and release any dirt and dust that is clinging to the microscopic fibers. Hang them up to dry, it only takes a few minutes. Putting them in the clothes dryer is unnecessary, and there is the possibility they will pick up lint and dust from the dryer.
