Using your fingers is good because there is no chance of lint finding its way into he finish, lint free rags I heard were ok. Using  0000 steel wool to buff between coats is the way to go  just like was said. I always blow it off after buffing to keep the tiny pieces of steel wool out too.

Never used on a bow yet only guitar necks, same idea. I don't know if anyone else have had bits of steel wool get into he mix, I've noticed it once checking it in he sun, now I do as mentioned and haven't had a problem. It's a very easy application as you probably found out, good stuff

Sorry guys just noticed someone already covered the lint thing, my bad

I use my finger, I usually do my handle area first, when the handle is finished I do the limbs, DBar it not to high , I usually get the small bottle and if you will turn the bottle upside down it will last a long time and do several bows. I am like Pat I don't like the shine but love the finish so I put a couple of light coats of Satin poly for the final coats , just to dull it a bit. :)
