Removing Paint or varnish by
sanding: |
|
|
 |
1- Paint or varnish
can be sanded away with any type of power or hand
sander. For bigger sanding jobs, you'll want to use
a power sander. Belt, disk or drum sanders can be
used.
2- Although sanding removes a painted surface
quickly and easily, it has one basic disadvantage -
it also removes some of the wood surface underneath
the paint. If you are working on a fine piece of
furniture, sanding is not recommended.
3 When sanding old paint or varnish from the
surface, use open coat, coarse sandpaper. Fine
sandpaper clogs up quickly, making it ineffective as
a paint remover.
4- As a rule, sanding is recommended only on
extremely rough jobs. Chemical paint removers are
much more effective and easier to use. |
