Hi all;

A few months ago I took a class at Jim Doyle's and started a nice JP Nana
that looks great with a few jin where the lower branches used to be.
Last weekend I dropped by Jims and bought a bottle of Lime Sulfur. When I
brought it home I realized that I have no idea how to treat jin before
applying the LS.
Should I be wire brushing them ?

One thing I've learned .... don't apply it in the house !!

Any good tips ?

Thanks

In the past some have said to let the branch dry out before applying lime
sulfur. I have found that it does work better if the branch is somewhat
dry before applying LS. It seems to absorb the LS better and tends to
look better after the LS dries. The LS will have orange look to it until
it dries.
