I have a question about polishing molds with cotton balls/pads and alcohol. I seem to get a lot of left over fluff in my mold cavities from my cotton. Are there levels of quality of cotton pads (I’m using the cheap store brand)? Would a lint free cloth work better, do you think? Am I the only one who experiences this?


Happens to me too but usually only when I try to be cheap and get more out of one pad than I probably should. If I switch them out as soon as they start looking a little ragged, it usually doesn't happen.

Edit: Ok, just realized you said "cotton balls/pads and alcohol"... I've never actually done that. I just use the dry pads.
