Lint free rags
I haven't found any reference to this, so I'm wondering what others use for lint free rags. I do a fair amount of wiping back, especially in the beginning of a painting, but a paper towel leaves a horrible trail of lint. This is even more of a problem when my ground has any kind of texture to it. What are you using to wipe paint off your canvas?

Re: Lint free rags
The same as Midwest. I like the t-shirts the best, because there's more area to use.

Tshirts are the best, especially when they have been washed a lot.
