I've always (which is admittedly not that long) used CWF for my spirals. The part of the process that always annoyed me most was applying it initially. I tried a knife blade, then switched to a chopstick. I would lay on a thick layer, then squeegee it off with a razor blade. Still a pain.
Then recently it occurred to me that the answer was attached to my hand. I dip my index finger in the CWF slurry and just rub it around the spiral, applying enough pressure that not very much is left on the areas outside the spirals. Good gravy that is so much faster and easier. It does the whole thing in one step, and leaves relatively little sanding for later.
The benign nature of CWF also means that I can do stuff like this with my finger and not worry about toxicity.
Win!
