1, Applying the lubricant
Dip the tips of your fingers in a bowl of the lubricant and sprinkle several drops on the surface to be rubbed out. Wear rubber gloves if you are using oil as a lubricant.
2, Abrading the surface
Shake a little pumice onto the surface, then begin lightly abrading the surface with a felt block. Follow the pattern. If you do not have a felt block, wrap a piece of burlap around a scrap of wood. Continue rubbing the surface until a mixture of the rottenstone and lubricant forms. Use a soft cloth to wipe off a small area of the surface periodically to inspect the finish. You want to make certain that you are not rubbing through the topcoat.
3, Removing the pumice and lubricant
Wipe off the abrasive and lubricant with a clean cloth. Check the surface sheen; the finish should have a satin luster. You can either stop the process at this point or repeat it to obtain a glossier sheen.
