I've employed three finishers in the last 5 years and ALL of them ,and some 
quite talented, took more time than I thought appropriate to remeber to get 
enough material on the edges (especially the long hinged edges)and also to 
not rub through them as well. Very frustrating

             And not rubbing through edges is during rub out is certainly at 
least as much the

  >>>>>> I've seen all of these guys rub through edges that were well loaded 
ugghh.
    Perhaps the biggest mistake with edges, in fact, lies in neglecting to
