The best way I have found is to wet a piece of cheesecloth and then make a quick swipe, butt to tip (or vice versa) down one side and then the other. Wait 20 to 30 minutes and repeat. This gives me a better finish than brushing.

Cheesecloth is a net like material commanly used in cheese making for draining. I think that it is called mussolina in Italy.

I have used the cheese cloth but then tried and like better the black sponge of the paint brushes found at Home Depot.
