Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Not in my garden exactly. But, near enough. And as we're really talking about what everyone's doing, while home? Lads, help me out? I have about sixty square foot of sanding to do. Stripping dry, powdery paint off vertical, wood surfaces. This is not gloss paint. It's strange. Paint Stripper has no effect. It looks like a belt sander is my friend. Any recommendations then? Bare in mind I am Not a professional Tradesman. I don't need Makita, DeWalt, etc. If it can last out for twenty four hours of sporadic use? Good. Then it'll go on the shelf till the vultures come to pick through this place as I lay rotting.

Well if it's home then there's no rush and it'll get there when it does,it takes the fun out of a mellow little place when you put time limits upon yourself and we all know it won't ever be just right with a rushed job.So my good man chill and stick a chair in the shade by that stream and with a cold one in your hand whats more to be done???...... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
