Repairing My Own Finish-continued

I finished the repair work in the WiFi Library I was working on. It was a fairly easy job, just having to re-glaze the 2 walls and do a little blending into the existing finish. Of course, I had to make the job more difficult for myself by forgetting the main tool I needed for this finish! As soon as I got to the job site to do the 2nd glaze coat, I realized I had forgotten to pack my "Woolie"! I had washed the "Woolie" that I used the previous day and left it drying on my back porch. 🙁 The "Woolie" is a great little tool I use when I want a very consistent glaze finish that will not look blotchy, or ragged. It is basically a piece of sheep’s skin that is wrapped around a flat, plastic trowel-like form w/a handle. It’s about 4" wide x 10" long. I don’t use this tool to do a lot of finishes, but it sure comes in handy when I need it! I find "the Woolie" at Home Depot in my area. To get back to my story, luckily there was a Lowe’s nearby, so I ran over there in hopes of finding my trusted "Woolie" or something similar. Well, no "Woolie" was to be had at Lowe’s, but I did find a faux mitt that was similar and I also bought just a square of lambs wool I found. The mitt worked, but I found it much harder to use. It was large and did not fit my small hand very well. I was able to achieve the same look as the adjacent walls, but I knew if I had the "Woolie", I would have been able to fly through this job in no time. I love the handle on the "Woolie" vs. an ill fitting mitt. From now on, I think I will stock a "Woolie" in my Every Job Box, which is a rolling crate on wheels I carry with me to each job, loaded with tools and such that I may need in addition to the specific supplies needed for that job. In my Every Job Box I carry items like screwdrivers, sandpaper, q-tips, various spot removers, sponges, extra brushes, stirrers, rags, paper towels, scissors, etc. I basically try to bring everything but the kitchen sink!
