Hello!

Quick question. I've got some pieces of wood that I'm assembling together and will be painting. I, however, have sanded the pieces down, so there's sawdust all over the pieces.

On metal, I've been told to wipe down the pieces with lacquer thinner prior to painting, and that that would make the surface completely clean. Does this go for wood as well? Or do I risk damaging the wood?

Obviously, the thinner needs to dry completely before painting (I'll probably use the thinner tonight, then join the pieces and let them sit overnight, and paint tomorrow), but is this safe/a good idea?

Thanks in advance!
