I suppose it's just paying attention to detail, Brian. I do all of my heavy sanding BEFORE I re-point the checkering. My method of applying finish in very thin coats does not do well with unmasked checkering. Also, I don't want anything more in the checkering after I've already cleaned it out with lacquer thinner and a toothbrush.
