Working on a stock refinishing job. My first. Read lots of threads to become an expert! But somehow after stripping and sanding I managed to get some wood dust down into the pressed checkering. I did not spot it till it had dried. It is apparently mixed with either the thinner or remover and I'm having heck getting it out. Mostly just cannot get the very bottom of the "pit".
Multiple attempts with a tooth brush & thinner got some out. Using sewing needle and "picking" it out has been more successful. But there is still some small stuff I cannot get out.
Tried duck tape, trying to press down into the checkering. Nope. Tried to buy some Silly Putty today to attempt the same idea, but could not find any.
Thought about taking it to a car wash and blasting it out followed with a thorough drying, but I'm a bit unsure of this idea.
Any other thoughts before I totally ruin this stock?
