Still Sandy,
11/12/2006
I wanted to refinish some solid wood patio furniture that was once covered in a tung oil finish so I tried some solvent. When that didn't work I picked up the Black & Decker FS350 1/3 Sheet Finishing Sander. As a novice I didn't know there were a variety of stages in the sanding process so I just jumped into it. Lucky for me the Black & Decker sander I picked up did the job just fine.
FYI: When you buy the sander be sure and pick up more refill paper than you think you will need. The sander is loud but not as loud as the sander I borrowed from my mother-in-law. I like the dust extraction bag even though it sanding process still makes quite a huge mess.
