I am coming to the conclusion that watching paint dry is more fun than stripping back and sanding dining table chairs with turned legs etc. :o (The chairs have to be stripped right back to remove the stain too.)
I have tried a number of different processes and have come to the conclusion that sanding off the old coats of varnish is the quickest way to go. However, as I am dealing with mainly curved and round surfaces, a straight sander, or even four is not going to cut it alone.
ON my big Bosh 150mm ROS I have installed a Norton "Soft Interface Cushion." Its made of sponge, about 12mm thick and attaches to the sander's base plate the same way as sandpaper. The sandpaper then attaches to the cushion. It works well, but is way to big to get into a lot of areas.
For that I have a Metabo 80mm ROS that is bloody brilliant for getting into tight spots. Metabo sell accessory "Interface Discs" that works the same was as the Norton cushion. Having a cushioned interface makes the job possible to do with (mainly) sanders which is a real positive.
The situation I am facing is that so far, I have used two of the Metabo 80mm Interface Disks on one chair. :(( At $8.75 a pop, its going to cost over $100 in pads alone. They last for about 4-6 sanding disks.
Is the rate of usage on these Interface Disks excessive, normal, or am I doing something wrong. Finally, does anyone have any suggestions or tips.
