I'm using Osmo for a large finishing project, which will consist of both furniture/paneling and large open wall surfaces of 1/4" oak veneer ply, as seen here:

Two questions:

1) what's the best most cost effective white abrasive pad to used?  Previously I just repurposed some of the Festool pads, but I need a bulk amount for this job.  Will something like the scotch brite pads work:

2) I'm wondering what the most appropriate application method is for the wall panels.  Maybe I can just convert some sort of floor brush?  I'm just worried about over-application with any tool that's normally used for floors, since I have a pretty tight window on when the finish is applied and when it has to be ready to be filmed.  Thanks.

Do you plan on rubbing all of this out by hand or using power tools?

Lambs wool applicator to apply the product to the walls.

Probably a combination.  I will have lots of interns available, so labor's not really an issue.

You may end up with a combination of hand pads and the Festool pads. I don't think the hand pads will stay on the machines backing plate.

The whites you posted the link to do not appear to have an abrasive, the Festool whites for the Surfix oil are non-abrasive also.

I clean and reuse my Festool pads, they last a long time if you don't catch something with them.
