Sanding may sound like a simple part of home improvement and craft projects, but it has its challenges. I think the challenges come when you have sand in awkward, hard to reach places. Over the years, I have come up with a few successful ways to deal with some challenges. Here they are:
Sanding Spindles
I like to refurbish furniture. As such, I frequently run across chairs and tables with my legs spinning. I found one of the easiest ways to sandblast in folding sand paper into a long strip. Then I wrap the stripped sand paper around the spindle and move it back and forth as if I were wiping my back with a bath towel< /a> or my dress shoe shiny I think it makes it easier to go around the curves in general. It also seems to do the job faster
Sanding in Crevices
Another problem that is often encountered when refurbishing furniture is the volume of work and ventilation. A real bear can try and sand some of those furrows. Sometimes I use a Dremel tip, but there are other times when I want to sand delicate areas by hand. I have found that if I wrap the sand in craft paper or the end of a kitchen spatula I can reach it. inside the caves It is also known in certain situations to use the American board. It may take a little longer but the results are typically worth it.
Sanding Square Edges
Creating a perfectly square border is a problem for me. I prefer to distract myself and later arrest more wood in spots than I originally planned. Then I came up with a solution. It involves the use of a C-clamp and two field logs. Now with a perfect edge I need to make a sandwich between two pieces of wood and a C-table-top”>table. The clamps are all together. The two pieces of wood work as a guide and keep my sand plane.
Sanding blocked
Sometimes when store bought the sanding block is the wrong shape or size of the project I am working on. To get around that problem, I often make my own sandal blocks out of a little wood. It is easy to do. I just wrapped the sand paper around the log and stapled it in place with a few loads. Then, when you need to change the sand paper, just remove the staples from the wood with a flat head screw driver. Later I will discard the old sandpaper and attach the new sandpaper to the wood with more staples. That’s all.
