   jswood,

   If your pad gets too dry and you are going over the surface repeatedly you could get rough streaks

   Conversely if you recharge the pad with too much shellac the surface can become uneven.

   Also your choice of cloth on the pad can make a big difference. If the cloth is too coarse(like tee shirt material) you won't get a good surface. Also be sure, and this is most important, there are no wrinkles or folds on the pads face as this will quickly mar the surface.

   The other factor is "time on the tool" The is no substitute for practice. We can teach the basics but the instruction is only part of it. After a while you will feel when it is correct.

   Remember the old saying;

   " What's quickest way to Carnegie Hall?... Practice, Practice, Practice."
