As Karl mentioned, you use the rush flattened out. The advantage I see
to using rush is that you can sand a small area and see what you're
doing. This is sometimes hard with even a small piece of sandpaper.
Also, if you have one particular area that has a greater concentration
of grain, you can sand a trough that will modify and even out the
distribution of these little tubes we call "grain."
